South 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.
