Supervisors OK ballot question on increasing sales tax 1%

Money would go to build schools

mhs-conceptSupervisors voted unanimously on July 7 to offer a referendum in November on a 1% sales tax increase to fund public school construction and renovation.

Under recent Virginia legislation, eligible localities can conduct a referendum to add 1% sales tax and the revenues “must be used strictly” for school construction, school renovations or public transportation.
