Improving public safety could mean Jackson County residents will be paying more in property taxes. The Glenville-Cashiers Rescue Squad asked Jackson County Board of Commissioners to approve more money to expand the facilty, and the Sylva Fire Department asked for funding to cover a full-time staff. Property taxes would go up about $1.37 to cover the costs of the new requests, as well as a previously approved raise for Harris EMS staff.
