The Fayetteville City Council Aug. 6 voted unanimously to approve an intergovernmental agreement between Fayette County and its municipalities for the renewal of the 1-cent sales tax that will go before voters in November.

If given the go-ahead by voters, Fayetteville would receive a maximum of nearly $6.8 million over the six-year collection period.

The city’s wish list is made up primarily of transportation-related projects and those involving multi-use paths and trails. The 14 projects identified by the council totaled $6,790,000. The plan also contains five alternate projects.

The list includes larger projects such as resurfacing city streets at $1 million, bicycle/pedestrian/multi-use improvements at $1.2 million, citywide grid/connectivity improvements at $1 million, Ga. Highway 85 medians at $750,000, citywide intersection improvements at $750,000 and the Ga. Highway 92 connector widening at $500,000.

Other proposed projects included a Ramah/Redwine roundabout at $400,000, a Church Street extension at $220,000, hospital area medians at $20,000, a trail at Dixon Park at $150,000, citywide park improvements at $100,000 and Pye Lake Park improvements at $200,000.

If passed by voters, the renewed 1-cent sales tax could generate a maximum of $135 million in collections. The sales tax on the November ballot will be good for six years rather than the customary five-year collection period, according to the intergovernmental agreement.

County projects that would benefit from passage of the initiative include $55 million to retire the debt on the Justice Center, $11 million for transportation, $5 million for initial construction of a college campus and $2 million for an Emergency Operations Center.
