Board of Commissioners Joint Meeting | June 2, 2026

The Henry County Board of Commissioners held a joint meeting with city officials from Stockbridge, Locust Grove, Mcdana, and Hampton on June 2, 2026, to discuss the upcoming Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (T-SPLOST) 2 program scheduled for the November ballot. The meeting focused on reviewing the proposed transportation projects funded by the 1% local sales tax renewal, which is estimated to generate $340 million over six years. Key projects include major road widenings, intersection improvements, road resurfacing, multi-use trails, and transit enhancements. The county and cities emphasized collaboration through an intergovernmental agreement to ensure full participation and equitable distribution of funds based on 2024 population figures. City representatives highlighted their priorities such as safety improvements, economic development, and leveraging additional state and federal funds. The meeting concluded with a call for public support of the T-SPLOST 2 referendum to continue addressing infrastructure needs and traffic congestion in Henry County.
