Troy — For the first time in more than two and a half decades, Oakland County's largest city is seeking a property tax increase to make what city officials said are needed public infrastructure improvements, including a new library nearly double the current one.

Voters in Troy will decide Nov. 4 whether to approve a 1.1327 mill property tax increase, which would allow the city to borrow up to $137 million in bonds that would be paid back over 20 years. The bond money would be used to build a new library, improve parks and recreation facilities, rehabilitate roads, and replace fire engines and police body cameras.
