McDONOUGH â Henry County officials are hopeful they can reach an intergovernmental agreement with the four cities in the county in order to collect the maximum Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax for Transportation allowed.
The county has developed a transportation project list and is looking to place a TSPLOST referendum on the ballot in November. A majority of commissioners said Tuesday they approve of the project list, although one said he would not support it.
The county faces two possible scenarios for TSPLOST collections. If an intergovernmental agreement with a majority of the cities â including the most populous, Stockbridge and McDonough â is in place, the county and cities will be able to collect the maximum 1% sales tax over five years. If unable to reach that agreement, the collection rate would drop to .75%.
