Bibb County Makes SPLOST Recommendations

The future of SPLOST projects for Macon and Bibb County will soon be finalized.

Today, the Bibb County Board of Commissioners agreed on a list of potential SPLOST projects to come for this November’s ballot.

They plan to meet with the city to draw up a final list of recommendations.

After taking a look at the numbers, both the city and county added Bloomfield Park back to the list of parks and recreation. The city suggested $3 million, while the county feels $2 million is a fair amount to set aside.

According to Bibb County Chairman Sam Hart, the differences between what the city would like to see and what the county is offering are minor.

“We want to make sure that we get as much input as we can from both sides because it’s going to be important that we all get behind this thing to push it because it’s a real challenge to get it passed and we can’t do it if we don’t come out as a unified group,” says Hart.

Hart hopes they can resolve their differences and produce a final list this week.
