Final sales tax feedback session Thursday
By Johnny Edwards
July 9, 2012South Fulton's last feedback session on transportation needs before the July 31 sales tax referendum will be Thursday. It starts at 6:30 p.m. at Renaissance Middle School, 7155 Hall Road, Fairburn.
If approved, the tax is expected to raise $6.14 billion over 10 years for a list of transportation projects already drawn up, as well as another $1 billion for local governments. Unincorporated south Fulton is expected to get about $2.9 million per year, and the county wants residents' input on a project list.
The commission has not taken a formal position on whether the sales tax should be approved.
