The Hall County Board of Commissioners on Thursday approved the allocation of $300,000 in special purpose local option sales tax revenue, or SPLOST VII, for renovations to the Lake Lanier Olympic Venue. Venue Manager Morgan House said the funds would be spent on constructing an Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible ramp to the tower, as well as upgrades to restrooms and expansions to the service facility. The venue is the last Olympic site from the 1996 Atlanta games still being used for its original purpose.
