Upcoming Vote on Transportation Sales Tax in Athens-Clarke County
As residents of Athens-Clarke County prepare to head to the polls this Spring, they face a significant decision regarding a potential new Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST). This tax proposal has been crafted with the input of the TSPLOST 2026 Advisory Committee, led by local realtor Alex Sams.
The committee, under Sams’ leadership, has carefully selected and outlined the specific projects that would benefit from this special tax should it receive voter approval. In an interview with Emma Auer from WUGA, Sams elaborated on the critical choices voters will be making regarding the county’s transportation future.
