[AT] Concrete slab- Subdivision Development

[charlie hill]

Hi Cecil,

Actually the influx of folks from up your way HAS reduced our tax rates. 
The county is building buildings, adding services and hiring folks like 
crazy but the tax rates have held their own or come down for the last 
several years.  Of course the inflation in property values caused by the 
same chain of events have made the actual tax BILL higher.
