The Liberty County Board of Commissioners met again to discuss the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax referendum planned for November and the proposed list of projects it would fund if passed. Some of the commissioners agreed at a called meeting Feb. 29 that the main selling point of SPLOST VI should be paying off half the debts on the Liberty County Justice Center and MidCoast Regional Airport at Wright Airfield. Half the Justice Center debt is around $8.18 million and half the MidCoast debt, after refinancing, is around $4.74 million.
