The full story

A county presenter summarized the SPLOST 27 bonding timeline and recommended moving forward with bonds rather than delaying projects until cash is collected. "And in that resolution, there was also an $85,000,000 in bonds, not to exceed 6%," the presenter said, noting that voters approved the renewal and the court validated the election. He told the board that rating calls on Sept. 16 with Standard & Poor's and Moody's upheld Carroll County's ratings (S&P: AA; Moody's: Aa2) and that the preliminary official statement had been printed and mailed.
