Dear Athens County Residents,

We would like to share an important update regarding our continued efforts to support individuals with developmental/intellectual disabilities in Athens County.

At our request, the Athens County Board of Commissioners have approved placing a 1.8-mill renewal levy for the Athens County Board of Developmental Disabilities (ACBDD) on the November 4, 2025, general election ballot. It will appear as ISSUE #1.

This proposed levy would be renewing our term levy currently in place, which was passed in 2017 and expires in 2025. If passed, this renewal term levy will be for five years, spanning the tax years 2026 through 2030. In addition, it will result in NO NEW TAXES for the people in Athens County.

This proposed renewal levy would allow us to:

• Not increase property taxes for Athens County residents.
• Handle the increasing cost of doing business.
• Sustain our current diverse menu of programs and services.
• Continue our locally funded programs that are critical to our mission and vision.
• Support the increasing number of individuals eligible for our services (over 800 in 2024).

More than 70% of the ACBDD’s funding comes from local tax dollars. We greatly appreciate the support we enjoy from our local community. We are proud of the positive impact we make every day in Athens County.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Respectfully,

Kevin Davis, Superintendent
