How will revenue from the one cent sales tax be used?

State law requires that the one cent sales tax be used only for the projects listed on the ballot:

  • New Judicial Center
  • New Municipal Court/Police Building
  • New Emergency Operations Center
  • New Judicial Center parking garage
  • New City/County Government Center
  • New Government Center parking garage

Any remaining funds will be used for roads and bridges projects to include the then highest priority projects identified in the County’s Capital Improvement Plan after taking into account the availability of State and other funds.
