Summary
County staff told commissioners that SPLOST 6, which began April 1, 2025, has produced 23 approved agenda items totaling nearly $72 million, funding a new tax office in Locust Grove, park improvements and the first of almost 200 road resurfacing projects.
County staff updated the Henry County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 5 that SPLOST 6, which began April 1, 2025, has generated 23 board‑approved agenda items representing nearly $72 million in contracts and that construction and resurfacing activity is under way.
The presentation said SPLOST 6 funds will build a new tax office in Locust Grove on Tanker Boulevard, pay for new concession and restroom buildings at Cochran Park and Warren Holder Park, and finance road resurfacing across the county. Contractors have begun work on Hudson Bridge Road, the first of nearly 200 county roads slated for resurfacing; the board previously approved over $41 million in resurfacing contracts.
County staff also told the board that a roundabout will be constructed at the Henry Parkway and McDonough Parkway intersection ahead of the aquatic center opening and that the Dutchtown Road improvement — part of SPLOST 5 — has celebrated a groundbreaking. The presentation directed residents to henrycountysplos.com for project details.
“Henry County has been fast at work since the SPLOST 6 program began on 04/01/2025,” Rocky said during the briefing.
No formal vote was required for the update; the presentation was informational and followed by a short board discussion of communications materials and the county’s in‑house video work.
