DeKalb County is in the process of evaluating proposals from three companies that are interested in serving as program manager of the $388 million SPLOST program.
Proceeds from the one-percent special purpose local options sales tax will go toward improving roads and public safety throughout the county. Voters approved the tax increase in November.
The SPLOST Citizens Advisory Committee will hold its first meeting in May. Members are being appointed by the Board of Commissioners and CEO Mike Thurmond.
In addition, Thurmond’s staff is preparing updates for commissioners that will provide an overview of SPLOST projects and what will get priority status in the first year.
