Voters in Chattooga County will vote in March on whether to renew the one-penny Special Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) for another five years. County Commissioner Andy Allen is encouraging residents to support this extension, highlighting its importance in funding local projects. A public meeting is being held at 10 AM this morning at the Commissioner’s Office on Commerce Street in Summerville to inform the community about the SPLOST. Allen noted that agreements have been signed with all four municipalities regarding fund distribution, and the ballot referendum has been approved by the state. Commissioner Allen emphasized that postponing the measure could lead to a loss of revenue. The proposed fund distribution includes 54. 5% with the rest distributed to the county’s four municipalities.
