THOMAS COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL) - Thomas County leaders say they need voters to pass a Special Local Option Sales Tax this November if residents want road improvement projects to continue.
From this SPLOST tax, Thomas County would receive slightly more than $20 million.
They plan to use $18 million for road projects and nearly $2.5 million to improve or repair county facilities and buildings.
The county was able to use 2012 SPLOST funds to pave 53 miles of roads so far.
They still have 17 miles under construction right now.
Smaller municipalities in Thomas County have expressed their need for the tax to complete water and sewage improvements.
