BIBB COUNTY, Ga. — Bibb County voters say schools can continue to collect a one percent sales tax for improvements.
7,979, or 76% of voters, voted in favor of the Bibb County School District Education SPLOST, which will pay for some major projects such as a new elementary school and putting more air conditioners in school buses.
The projected ESPLOST money ranges between $160 million and $185 million over five years.
The current ESPLOST runs out in December 2020 and will renew for another five years starting January 2021.
