After discussion over amounts to set the cap and corresponding duration it would take to collect those revenues, the Commission settled on $90 million. According to current calculations and projections, this 6th penny amount would take about seven years to collect.
This is a preliminary cap, which means it is a starting point for county entities to prepare plans for projects. This 6th penny tax initiative is meant to appear on the ballot for constituents to vote in November 2022. If passed, the tax was be effective at that date and the County would start receiving collections in April 2023.
