MARIETTA — Five of Cobb’s six cities hope to partner with the county to pay for such things as community centers and road work with a sales tax program voters may approve Nov. 4.
The Cobb Board of Commissioners will decide July 22 whether to put before voters a 1 percent special purpose local option sales tax, expected to collect $750 million over six years.
Some of the projects would be paid for solely by the county and some by the cities, but the costs of a dozen or so may be shared.
During a joint meeting between the mayors and commissioners Friday, Cobb’s mayors shared what projects they hoped the county will help them pay for.
Austell Mayor Joe Jerkins was the only mayor who said his city had no joint projects planned.
