Anyone who tells you taxes will go down in St. George is lying. Sales taxes and EBR parish wide taxes aren't going anywhere. And the property tax that goes to schools will be higher than EBR (Central and Zachary millages are higher than EBP.)

Also, residents will gladly pay the higher taxes for the independent school district and ability to keep the sales taxes in the city.

I agree taxes will go up, but I imagine some of that will have to do with property value raising. Not only the ISDS but the city maintenance and planning as well, enhanced police presence, cleaned out drainage ditches and gutters, and better zoning not letting them put up low quality housing anywhere they want.
As a Shenandoah homeowner in their 20’s I am very excited about St. Jawj

Central and Zachary can't even sniff the cash flow that St. George will have.
