Henry County T-SPLOST 2 Transportation Projects Procurement

A recent meeting document Henry County Board of Commissioners - Meeting Agenda - 2026-06-05 indicates a future potential acquisition The Henry County Board of Commissioners, in a joint meeting with the cities of McDonough, Stockbridge, Locust Grove, and Hampton, discussed the upcoming Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax 2 (T-SPLOST 2) program. The meeting included presentations on the general overview of T-SPLOST 2, financial estimates, possible distribution of collections, and a project list for Henry County and each city. The Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the county and municipalities is being finalized, which will allow the T-SPLOST program to operate for a full six-year period. The IGA ensures that every city receives a portion of the collections to complete projects within their community. The next steps include finalizing the IGA and project lists, with city councils requested to approve the IGA by July 15, and the Board of Commissioners planning to adopt the IGA and call the referendum at the July 21 meeting. Election Day for the T-SPLOST 2 referendum is scheduled for November 3, 2026. Once approved, the T-SPLOST 2 program will fund a range of transportation-related projects, which are likely to include road construction, road widening, intersection improvements, bridge repairs, and other infrastructure upgrades. These projects will require the procurement of construction, engineering, consulting, and potentially technology services from outside vendors through RFPs and competitive bidding processes. The program is designed to provide greater certainty for the county and cities when planning projects, and the funding will be distributed based on 2024 population figures.
