(KNZA)--Voters in the Jackson County community of Mayetta will decide the fate of a one-half percent retailers sales tax increase during a special election on Tuesday.
The Mayetta City Council voted last month to place the sales tax issue on the ballot.
f approved by voters, the sales tax increase would help cover the estimated nearly $397,000 cost of extending a city sewer line to the new Dollar General Store, which is currently under construction on Mayetta's west city limits.
Revenue from the sales tax would also be used for “ general purposes” in the city, such as street maintenance and sidewalk construction and repair.
If approved by voters, Mayetta's current one percent sales tax would increase to 1.5 percent, effective April 1 of this year.
Voters will cast their ballots at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, located at 301 East James Street in Mayetta, with the polling location open from 7 a.m to 7 p.m.
