County administrator Candy presented the new statutory option allowing counties to ask voters to approve up to a 1% general retail sales tax dedicated solely to school construction and major renovations; she read the proposed referendum language and cited statute sections (including 58.1-605, 58.1-606.01 and 58.1-611.1). Candy and staff gave revenue and timing estimates — an annual estimated collection of about $1,919,006 (after statutory exclusions), about 22% expected from visitors, and a projected 20-year borrowing ability of roughly $24 million at 5% — and emphasized the tax cannot be used
