Impact analysis
If voters approve, the half-cent sales surtax would continue funding infrastructure for ten more years rather than expiring.
All county residents who use roads, drainage, and public infrastructure funded by the surtax — including visitors who contribute through sales tax.
Shoppers pay the additional half-cent sales tax if the extension is approved by voters.
