Crawford County supports tax exemption for mental health facility on Broadway

In a recent meeting, Crawford County officials took a significant step towards supporting mental health services in the community. County Clerk Miss Lester presented a letter of support aimed at making the Family and Children's Together property at 710 North Broadway in Pittsburgh tax-exempt. This move is crucial for the organization, which provides essential mental health services to residents.

The request for tax exemption is time-sensitive, as the organization must meet a deadline by April 15. The county board recognized the urgency and quickly moved to approve the letter, ensuring that the necessary documentation would be sent to the Board of Tax Appeals. The board unanimously agreed to authorize the chair to sign the letter, demonstrating their commitment to supporting mental health initiatives in the area.

This decision reflects a broader commitment by Crawford County to enhance community well-being through accessible mental health resources. By facilitating tax exemption for the Family and Children's Together property, the county is helping to ensure that vital services remain available to those in need.

In addition to this key discussion, the meeting included no other new business items, with board members indicating no further matters to address at this time. The focus on mental health support underscores the county's ongoing efforts to prioritize the health and welfare of its residents.
