Background

Sandy Springs voters this fall will have the opportunity to vote on a five-year TSPLOST extension to fund transportation projects throughout Sandy Springs. The TSPLOST referendum would extend — and not increase — the existing 0.75% (3/4 of a cent) sales tax approved by voters in November 2016. The sales tax collection period would run April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2027.

If approved, the TSPLOST 2021 renewal will fund:

• Sidewalks
• Traffic congestion relief
• Road maintenance and paving
• Signal timing
• Reduced traffic wait times
