VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) -
After the defeat of the T-SPLOST, voters in Lowndes County will soon vote on another tax referendum, and now they know how that revenue would be used.
Lowndes County and Valdosta leaders released a list of proposed Special Local Option Sales Tax projects.
The largest project would be a $22 million library at the Five Points shopping area that would also include parks and recreation facilities.
County Manager Joe Pritchard says the current library can't support the county's growing population.
"There's not adequate parking currently, the facility is usually crowded, there are a number of people in there all hours of the day," said Pritchard
The next priciest project on the list is a $20 million auditorium.
Pritchard says if the tax does not pass there will not be any money for the projects.
This is not a new tax but an extension of the current SPLOST that would raise an estimated $150 million over the next six years.
