Officials to continue paying taxes on Phoebe North

Posted: Updated:

Phoebe will continue to pay the same amount of money in taxes for Phoebe North that HCA paid when it owned Palmyra Medical Center.

From the beginning Phoebe officials have said they would protect the community by not undermining the tax base. Today, they put that into writing.

Properties taken off the tax role would hurt the city and county financially.

"This would be a big hit to the county to the community to the school system for that reason it has always been the belief of this organization and be the good citizen that we reflect," said Thomas Chambless.

If there are changes in the millage rate payments will adjust accordingly.
