Stephens Co. Commissioners begin Discussions on SPLOST

In preparation for the election in November, the Stephens County Board of Commissioners began discussions on the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) at their work session on Tuesday, March 11. The Board asked department heads to submit requests for SPLOST money, so the county could set priorities, says Stephens County Commission Chair Tara Simmons.

Stephens County Commission Vice Chair Chris Rickman says a lot of work has to be done before the SPLOST is presented to voters for consideration in November.

The eighth version of the SPLOST will be decided by voters in November.  More details will be released as the election draws closer.
