Hall County officials eye sales tax extension to fund e-911 upgrades

They have made upgrading the communications network a top spending priority if voters approve a new round of special purpose local option sales tax in March. But there are scant details about a contingency plan to pay for $12.5 million in necessary upgrades if voters shoot down a five-year extension of the 1 percent sales tax.
