IRON MOUNTAIN — Some senior centers in Dickinson County will receive increased property tax allocations in 2024, including an additional $10,000 for the Crystal Lake Center in Iron Mountain and $8,000 more for the Breen Center in Kingsford.

The county board Tuesday approved a plan to distribute $496,000 in revenues from a county-wide levy of 0.3995 mills, or 40 cents per $1,000 of taxable value. The board reviewed requests from center representatives before drafting the senior millage budget, which is up by $32,000.

The Dickinson-iron Community Services Agency will receive $300,000, an increase of $12,000.

DICSA’s share helps provide home-delivered meals and other programs, including in-home services, transportation, and support for the Family Ties adult day care center, said Kristin Sommerfeld, DICSA executive director.

Allocations for the five senior centers are:

— $60,000 for Norway-Vulcan, no change.

— $60,000 for Dickinson County Senior Center at Crystal Lake in Iron Mountain, an increase of $10,000.

— $28,000 for Sagola Township, no change.

— $36,000 for Breen Center in Kingsford, an increase of $8,000.

— $12,000 for Felch Township, an increase of $2,000.

Norway-Vulcan also gets support from a levy of 0.5 mills, or 50 cents per $1,000 of taxable value, which generates about $85,000 from the city of Norway and Norway and Waucedah townships. The Norway center partially separated from DICSA in 2016.
