City, County officials discuss Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners and representatives from the Cumming City Council gathered in the County Administration Building Tuesday for a special called meeting to discuss a proposed Transportation Special Purpose Local Sales Tax (TSPLOST).

The meeting, which lasted less than six minutes, is required by state law primarily to notify the public that plans to place the item on the November ballot are moving forward.

Attorneys representing both governments are working on an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) that will include a list of prioritized road projects.

County Manager Kevin Tanner said the city officials have presented their list to the county. County officials are working to develop their list.

The two sides are expected to meet again in 30 days.
