The expansion of the Senior Life Center is one of the many projects being funded by the special purpose local option sales tax.
Members of the SPLOST VII Citizen Review Committee take their job seriously. On Tuesday they heard the latest report on how much money is being collected and spent from a one-cent-per-dollar increase approved by voters in 2015 to pay for more than 30 capital projects with a budget of $158 million. “We are very engaged,” said committee chairman Frank Norton, a principal at Norton Agency Insurance, LLC, following the meeting at the Hall County Sheriff’s Office — a facility completed last year from SPLOST VI funds approved by voters in 2008.
