Polling locations will be open until 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Fayetteville for the city’s sales tax election.
Voters will decide whether to renew the city’s 1-cent sales tax which was first enacted in 1993 and has twice been renewed. If passed, this renewal would add another 10 years to the collection timeline.
The tax generates about $22.5 million each year, and is split 60-40 between general fund operations ($13.5 million) and sales tax capital improvements ($9 million). That equates to about 27% of overall general operations revenue and 100% of the capital improvements program.
