Assuming voters agree to six more years of the one percent Special Local Option Sales Tax, Lilburn knows how they will spend their portion. State statute requires Gwinnett and its municipalities to sign an agreement for distribution of SPLOST proceeds. If voters approve the tax on Nov. 8, Lilburn will receive an estimated $13.5 million.
On Monday, Lilburn officials voted to spend future SPLOST dollars using $6.4 million for city public safety facilities and equipment, $811,542 for recreation facilities, $4.4 million on city roads, streets and bridges, $509,228 on city/county recreation projects, and $1.4 million on joint city/county transportation projects.
More specific information about the projects will be available in the coming months at www.cityoflilburn.com.
