(KNZA)-- Holton voters in a low turnout special election Tuesday approved the renewal of a half-cent citywide retailers sales tax for another ten years to fund infrastructure improvements and for debt reduction.
According to unofficial results from the Jackson County Clerk's Office, 122 votes were cast in favor of the sales tax and 21 votes against. The County Clerk's Office reported only about a 7 percent voter turnout.
The Holton City Commission in April approved a resolution setting the special election.
Holton voters approved the sales tax in November 2013. It would have expired at the end of this year unless it had been renewed.
With Tuesday's voter approval, the sales tax will now be extended from January 1st, 2024 through December 31st, 2033.
City officials in April said the sales tax had generated nearly $4.5 milion in revenue for the city..
