Funds collected for early childhood programing could help families to pay for childcare as early as next fall.
Michelle Klein, RN, MA and director of personal health, for the Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department (BLDHD) appeared before county commissioners recently to provide an update on the program, made possible through the county’s extra-voted millage.
The funds are generated by a 0.253mill property tax to fund early childhood development services from 2020 through 2024. In 2024, voters approved renewal of the millage at a rate of 0.253 mills for an additional five years, from 2025 through 2029.
