QC sets another special election for a new $22.5 million Blytheville courthouse
Thursday, December 15, 2016
The Mississippi County Quorum Court voted 9-2, Tuesday evening, to amend ordinance O-2014-11 and once again call for a special election on March 14, 2017 on the question of extending the current "hospital tax" from March 31, 2020 until March 31, 2047. The tax extension would, among other things, finance the construction of a new Blytheville Courthouse costing no more than $22.5 million.
