We'll know today how much the board members for Great Parks of Hamilton County want to raise property taxes. 

They'll vote today on whether to put a tax hike on the November ballot and how much. 

It looks almost certain that the five-member board will put some type of a levy on the ballot, with most of the board a month ago saying they favored it

"You could even see during the COVID pandemic how much the parks were used. It is definitely a value to the community," said board member Caren Laverty at the June meeting. "It would be a benefit all around."

The additional money would pay for improvements and maintenance to the 21 county parks and conservation areas and six golf courses. Hamilton County parks have $101 million worth of projects on the drawing board for the next 10 years.
