BENTONVILLE — Northwest Arkansas Community College's millage rate will remain as is after residents on Tuesday rejected a tax hike. The college had proposed a 0.4-mill increase that would have raised its millage rate from 2.6 to 3. The college's millage applies only to residents of its taxing district, which includes the Bentonville and Rogers school districts. Complete but unofficial results show the issue failed: For 911 (44%) Against 1,175 (56%) College officials estimated the millage increase would have brought the college an additional $1.
