Lawrenceville has released its annual report on Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) expenditures for the fiscal year ending Aug. 31, 2018. The report allows tax payers to see how funding coming from the 2009, 2014, and 2017 SPLOST programs have been planned for and used to date by the city.

Of note, Lawrenceville has consistently allocated significant portions of the available funding for transportation improvements including roads, streets and bridges. Voters will also notice funding set aside using the 2017 SPLOST issue to help pay for the city’s new $26 million, 50,000-square-foot arts center expansion.
