Oconee County citizens get another chance tomorrow night to tell members of the Board of Commissioners what projects they want on the referendum for the 2015 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax.
Under the revised timeline, the first of two public meetings will begin at 6 p.m. today in the auditorium of the Civic Center on Hog Mountain Road.
A second meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on May 12 in Courtroom No. 1 at the courthouse in Watkinsville.
Commissioners are to hold a work session on May 21 to weigh public comments and reach their own consensus on the project list for the referendum.
The BOC is then to discuss the list at its regular meeting on May 27 and finalize that list at its meeting on June 3.
Voters will get their final chance to pass judgement on the proposed SPLOST projects in the election on Nov. 4, when they will decide if they want to continue the 1 percent special projects sales tax in the county.
