Oconee County Commissioners Discuss SPLOST Spending, New Park, Road Projects, Homestead Exemptions At Planning Session

***Paying Off Bond Discussed***

Oconee County is expecting to collect $20 million more than budgeted when it asked voters to approve the current Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) in November of 2020, and commissioners at their strategic planning meeting on Wednesday discussed how to allocate the funds.

At the top of the list is a plan to pay off the General Obligation Bond voters approved in 2002 for purchase of land and development of what is now Oconee Veterans Park.
