(KNZA)--The final vote tally is in and Hiawatha voters have approved a half-cent retailers sales tax for street, alley and parking improvements by a 7-vote margin.
Following a canvass of ballots from the November 8th general election by the Brown County Commission Monday, the sales tax was approved by a vote of 635 to 628.
A total of 106 provisional ballots were cast in the election, with 38 of those cast in Hiawatha.
The Commission decided to count 65 of the provisional ballots based on state statute.

The sales tax is projected to raise around $335,000 a year.
