The Marshall County Commission on Wednesday adopted the Fiscal Year 2025 levy for submission to the West Virginia Auditor's Office. The county's budget for the coming year is set at $47.9 million, with an additional $5.1 million in coal severance.
"We believe this budget serves the needs of our elected officials so that they may operate their offices in an efficient manner," Commission President Mike Ferro said. "We also believe we have projected sufficiently for potential increases in the cost of insurance, regional jail expenses, and fuel for vehicles--all of which are major expenses.
"We are able to assist with water and sewer projects as well as capital improvements. In addition, we are fortunate to be able to contribute to the funding of many outside agencies who provide great services to our citizens."
