A voter enters the Gainesville Civic Center Tuesday morning to cast their ballot for their candidate.
Voters across Hall County on Tuesday approved a new five-year round of special purpose local option sales tax to fund education-related projects for local schools. The 1 percent sales tax, which is projected to generate between $110 million and $140 million, was approved by a 71.24 percent to 28.76 percent margin. “I am extremely pleased that the voters of Hall County continue to support E-SPLOST,” Hall County Schools Superintendent Will Schofield said.
