As voters prepare for the November 3 election, the future of Fulton County's Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST) is once again on the ballot. First approved in 2016 and renewed in 2021, TSPLOST is an existing 0.75% sales tax dedicated to transportation improvements. Fulton County voters outside the City of Atlanta will decide whether to renew it for another five years, potentially generating approximately $650 million for roads, bridges, sidewalks, trails, congestion relief and safety improvements.

In a recent True North 400 blog, Matt Yarbrough, vice president of Policy & Government Affairs for the Council for Quality Growth, explores the role TSPLOST plays in North Fulton's transportation network and how local funding supports larger infrastructure partnerships. Early voting is underway through October 30, with Election Day on November 3.

The Encore Greenway Park and Gateway project is one step closer to welcoming residents and visitors! Through a partnership between True North 400 and the City of Alpharetta, this project is transforming access to the Big Creek Greenway and creating a new space for the community to enjoy. Recent construction updates include the installation of permanent grass, new handrails along the raised boardwalk and continued work on the plaza terraces.

With each new improvement, the project is one step closer to becoming an inviting space that strengthens connectivity and enhances access to one of North Fulton’s best amenities!

True North 400 joined business and community leaders at the Council for Quality Growth’s 37th Annual Four Pillar Tribute honoring Egbert Perry, chairman of The Integral Group.
