Goodhue County identifies $50,000 to cut as preliminary levy approaches

Goodhue County’s 2020 levy and budget will be finalized after a County Board vote in December. Before that, a preliminary levy will be set on Sept. 17. In order to set the preliminary levy, the board and heads of departments met Tuesday, Sept. 3, to discuss what needed to be cut, added and remain in the budget.
