A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Cedaredge Ballot Issue 2C would add a 1% sales and use tax starting January 1, 2027, raising $500,000 in 2027 and more later. At least 20% would go to roads, 20% to recreation facilities and 20% to public safety, including a school resource officer. At least 15% would go to economic development, and the other 25% would be assigned each year by the town board. None could go to the town-owned golf course. A YES vote approves the tax. A NO vote means it is not added.
