The Oconee County Board of Commissions Tuesday night approved a $36.6 Fiscal Year 2015 budget, agreed upon a $47.3 million spending plan as part the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax referendum to be on the ballot on Nov. 4, and rezoned property for a mini-warehouse and storage facility.
The budget approved was unchanged from the one reviewed by the Board at its meeting on May 27, meaning that Coroner Ed Carson did not get his requested transport van.
The SPLOST spending items also were unchanged from those agreed upon on May 27, meaning that the big winners were water and sewer projects and roadways.
The rezone approval means that LCN Oconee LLC and Frank Halpin got the reclassification they wanted so JenHill LLC can go forward with plans to build a 152,250-square-foot facility offering climate-controlled commercial and personal storage space.
