(KMZA)--Marshall County voters will decide the fate of a one-half cent sales tax to fund the construction of new jail during the November 7th general election.
The Marysville Advocate reports the Marshall County Commission last week approved a resolution placing the special question on the ballot.
If approved by voters, proceeds from the sales tax would go to pay off up to $9 million in general obligation bonds that would be issued for the project.
The new jail is to be constructed on city-owned property located on 11th Terrace, north of Subway in east Marysville.
A proposal to use a lease-purchase agreement to finance a portion of a new jail was defeated in a special election in April.
County officials have been working a jail project since 2017.
