RN-T.com – Second round of SPLOST presentations turns focus to increasing recreation options and preparing for future jobs

An investment in the future of industry in Floyd County and the development of tourism and recreation are some of the areas covered by proposed SPLOST projects.

The role of the Rome-Floyd SPLOST Citizens Advisory Committee to hear presentations on these projects continues as it works toward making a recommendation of which ones should be considered for the final package.

The next round of presentations will be Thursday at the Emergency Operations Center, 409 E. 12th St. Conservative estimates by the county put a five-year SPLOST at generating between $60-63 million. A final length and amount has yet to be determined.

Voters will decide in November on a 1-cent special purpose, local option sales tax that would replace the current tax that ends on June 30.
