Have questions about T-SPLOST? Not sure exactly what it is or what it does?

We’re breaking it down in this video.

The November T-SPLOST vote is not a vote to create a new tax. It is a continuation of the existing transportation sales tax, which is paid not only by Henry County residents, but also by visitors and non-residents who make purchases in the county.

What does T-SPLOST fund? What projects are currently underway or planned for Henry County?

Watch the video to learn more about T-SPLOST, how it works, and the projects it helps fund.

You can find out more about current and future T-SPLOST projects at https://t.co/F0DfXnQI7W.

Our first responders work tirelessly to keep our community safe, and we are proud to recognize their dedication to service.

A big congratulations to all who were recognized. We cannot thank you enough! 🚒🚑❤️

📣 T-SPLOST QUESTIONS

Why isn't the County resurfacing roads?

There are several road resurfacing projects underway. In addition to those projects, the Department of Transportation is in the community almost every day, fixing potholes with new methods designed to provide long-lasting solutions.

In this edition of T-SPLOST Questions, we talk about one of those many resurfacing projects and how to report an issue.

Reliable, high-speed internet creates opportunities for residents and businesses across Henry County.

AT&T Fiber is now available to more than 12,000 additional residential and business locations, offering speeds of up to 5 Gigs. This builds on the more than 82,000 locations in the county where AT&T services are available.

For residents, fiber internet supports remote work, online learning, telehealth appointments, and other everyday digital needs. Businesses can benefit from faster data transfers, improved customer service, and the capacity to grow in an increasingly connected economy.

The expansion also includes two wireless sites. The Hampton location strengthens coverage along Highway 20 and South Hampton Road, while the Stockbridge site improves service near Gardner Road and Swan Lake Road.

Public safety communications also benefit from these upgrades. Through FirstNet and Band 14 technology, first responders have access to dedicated communications capabilities that help them coordinate during emergencies.

Henry County joined AT&T and local government and public safety representatives to recognize this investment in the infrastructure that helps our community thrive.

🏊‍♂️ MAKING A SPLASH: OUR FIRST SWIM MEET 🏊‍♀️

The Henry County Aquatic Center made a splash as we welcomed swimmers for our first swim meet.

It was exciting to see the Aquatic Center serving as a place where swimmers can challenge themselves, build confidence, and create lasting memories.

We're proud to see this facility bringing athletes, families, and the swimming community together right here in Henry County. And this is just the beginning!
