T-SPLOST Sidewalk Projects Map - Sandy Springs, Georgia

This ready-to-print map shows the proposed sidewalk projects only from the T-SPLOST program. On November 8, 2016, Fulton County voters, including residents of Sandy Springs, approved the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (T-SPLOST), a referendum to fund transportation improvements within the participating cities. In Sandy Springs, T-SPLOST passed with 56.7 percent of the vote. Beginning in April 2017, a 0.75 percent (3/4 of a cent) sales tax will be collected to fund the T-SPLOST transportation projects. An estimate $103.7 million over five years is expected to be raised for use in Sandy Springs for transportation improvements. Who pays the 0.75 percent tax? The sales tax will be paid by anyone - residents, visitors, businesses and tourists - who buys taxable products or services inside Fulton County, outside City of Atlanta limits.
