Brimfield police will lobby voters to add $725,000 a year to their budget

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Brimfield voters will likely find a 2.38-mill tax levy question on the November ballot, asking whether they want to expand their police force or maintain the status quo.

Trustee Mike Kostensky said the township is stuck between static revenue and a ballooning population. He has seen the township grow from 7,561 residents in 1990 to some 10,280 now, according to 2010 census data. (Results of the 2020 census are expected this year.)
