LOWNDES COUNTY — As arguments continue in the state Supreme Court that will ultimately decide the LOST (local option sales tax) split between Valdosta and Lowndes County, the local governments are forging ahead with time running out to renew the SPLOST (special purpose local option sales tax) for a seventh time.
The city has already voted on its list, while county commissioners are still mulling over theirs. This week at their meeting, the commission unveiled its proposed plan, which will be voted on in August and appear on the November ballot as a referendum.
If it fails to pass again, the one-cent sales tax will stop being collected on Jan. 1, 2014.
While the city’s list is dominated by the relocation of the Withlacoochee Wastewater Treatment Plant, the county’s list is spread evenly throughout the various departments, concentrating on essential repairs and replacement.
