Lula has collected nearly $1.23 million in the current special purpose local option sales tax, which expires next year, with officials now weighing how to spend $220,162 in undesignated money. The northeast Hall County city has spent $194,627 for water and sewer improvements, $256,939 in “streetscape” upgrades and $324,922 in road fixes, primarily resurfacing, said City Manager Dennis Bergin, noting the numbers “may not include all debit or credits and have not been audited.” With a $453,162 balance, Lula is looking to spend $108,000 for a streetscape project, or beautification around streets.
