XENIA — Three countywide levies easily won approval from Greene County voters Tuesday, Nov. 3, according to unofficial results from the Greene County Board of elections.

The Mental Health and Recovery Board won, 25,279 to 12,463 to renew a 1.5-mill levy after voters defeated a larger request a year ago. The agency has seen deep cuts in state funding and an increased demand in services.

The levy will cost $32.40 for every $100,000 of property value, according to the county auditor.

The Council on Aging replacement and additional request for a total of 1 mill won 24,725 to 13,188 to fund the continuation of senior activities and services. The levy will cost $30.64 for every $100,000 of property value.

The Greene County Library levy, which provides $3.2 million annually or more than half the agency’s funding, won 30,990 to 11,739. The library supports branches in Beavercreek, Bellbrook, Cedarville, Fairborn, Yellow Springs and Xenia.
