This Week in Henry | February 29, 2020

Its a special Leap Day version of This Week in Henry! The BOC held a two-day budget workshop this week and there are updates from the Locust Grove city council.

We want your feedback about T-SPLOST

When discussing capital projects in Henry County, transportation SPLOST has been mentioned as one possible option to fund projects. If placed on the ballot and approved by voters, it would increase the local sales tax rate from seven to eight percent.
Transportation SPLOST collections can be used for a variety of transportation improvements including major road widening projects and intersection improvements, road maintenance, sidewalks and greenway trails, and finally, public transit.
