Douglas County plans T‑SPLOST transportation sales tax for November ballot, officials say
Summary
County administration said it will seek voter approval in November for a 1¢ T‑SPLOST dedicated to transportation improvements (unpaved roads, repaving, subdivision upgrades); officials emphasized clear public education given prior confusion.
Dr. Corbin told the town hall the county plans to place a T‑SPLOST (a 1‑cent sales tax for transportation) on the November ballot to fund road improvements across the county, including unpaved roads and repaving in subdivisions. He said the county cannot advocate but will provide information; the goal is to fund systemic improvements that are hard to achieve by incremental projects.
A resident cautioned about clarity, noting the measure was on the 2024 ballot and some voters were confused. "If you put it on the ballot again, please just make sure it's clear in terms of what you're trying to do because I think many people were confused," the resident said. Officials acknowledged the need for better public education if the board moves forward with the measure.
