If approved and levied in full, this millage will raise an estimated $35,000 in the first calendar year of the levy based on taxable value. A portion of the millage may also be disbursed to the Downtown Development Authority of the City of Durand and the Brownfield Authorities of Shiawassee County and the City of Durand as well as such other or fewer local units of government as required by law.
