Oconee County citizens get another chance Monday night to tell member of the Board of Commissioners what projects they want on the referendum for the 2015 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax.
Under the revised timeline, the first of two public meetings will begin at 6 p.m. in the auditorium of the Civic Center on Hog Mountain Road.
A second meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on May 12 in Courtroom Number 1 at the courthouse in Watkinsville.
The Commissioners are to hold a work session on May 21 to weigh public comments and reach their own consensus on the project list for the referendum.
The BOC is then to discuss the list at its regular meeting on May 27 and finalize that list at its meeting on June 3.
Voters will get their final chance to pass judgement on the proposed SPLOST projects in the election on Nov. 4, when they will decide if they want to continue the 1 percent special projects sales tax in the county.
For more on the story, including a summary chart on SPLOST 2015 requests and and a video from last week's candidate forum involving SPLOST, go to Oconee County Observations.
