Angela and Dave Thompson, owners of Fuel Coffee in Alpharetta, recently expanded their operation to Halcyon in Cumming. Barely a year after opening their first location on Main Street in Alpharetta, the couple say their goal of making the business community-oriented has caught on. See story, Page 4.
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County voters narrowly defeated a proposed transportation sales tax that would have brought in an expected $250 million over the next five years. Money from the tax was targeted for dozens of roadway projects throughout the county. The one penny sales tax was rejected by 50.19 percent of voters. Totals show 49,681 votes cast for the measure and 50,066 votes cast against it. On Wednesday afternoon, District 4 Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills said she was disappointed by the outcome of the election and the loss of so much potential tax revenue meant to improve local roadways. Mills said a lot of factors likely led to TSPLOST’s defeat, including local anxieties about overgrowth, the state of the economy and misconceptions that circulated online about the tax. But regardless of why it failed, Mills said the loss will have a huge impact on the community.
