Residents to vote on a 1.5 percent JEDZ that would encompass all of Springfield Township in Hamilton County
Springfield Township trustees in Hamilton County unanimously passed a resolution to put a joint economic development zone (JEDZ) on the May 6th ballot, Cincinnati.com reports. The proposal would make the entire township a JEDZ and "would collect an earnings tax of 1.5 percent for workers in Springfield Township and 1.5 percent of business profits." Home businesses and residents who don't work within the township would not be subject to the tax, which it is estimated will raise about $1.125 million. For more, read the full story.
