The November passing of the TSPLOST allocation will see an additional .75 percent sales tax to be collected in Fulton
County outside of the city of Atlanta for five years for the purpose of transportation improvements and congestion reduction. This Transportation SPLOST will provide funding for Fulton County and all municipalities within the county for transportation improvements and projects based on each jurisdiction’s previously agreed upon needs. The city
of Chattahoochee Hills expect to receive $3,000,000 over five years which averages around $60,000 per year.
Before its regularly scheduled December City Council meeting, the Mayor and Council of the city of Chattahoochee Hills officially cut the ribbon to celebrate the completion of the first TSPLOST paving project which is Rico Road from Campbellton-Redwine to South Fulton Parkway.
The contractor, E.R. Snell was awarded this project on Oct. 3 and began work at the beginning of November. The total cost of this paving project for this 1.4 mile stretch of roadway was $304,770.55. All of the funds for this paving project come from the additional ¾ of a penny sales tax per dollar spent and collected in all of Fulton County not including the city limits of Atlanta.
