IN A REPORT BY WTAJ, CENTRE COUNTY OFFICIALS SAY THAT A $5 FEE FOR NON EXEMPT REGISTERED VEHICLES IN THE COUNTY WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS, AFTER A 2-1 VOTE BY CENTRE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. THE FEE IS COLLECTED AS A WAY TO GENERATE MORE FUNDING FROM THE STATE. FOR EVERY DOLLAR THE COUNTY COLLECTS, THEY GET 4 FROM HARRISBURG. ALL OF THIS MONEY GOES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIR AND MAINTAINENCE. THE FEE WAS FIRST APPROVED BACK IN 2017, AND WITH THIS ADDITIONAL FUNDING, 6 PROJECTS CAN NOW GO FORWARD. THESE PROJECTS CARRY A COMBINED PRICE TAG OF MORE THAN $739,000.
