SPLOST Projects
Watch how SPLOST-funded projects are making a difference across Union County. Each video tells the story of your tax dollars at work.
Quality of Life
Community, recreation, and cultural facilities
Union County Senior Center
I want you to think about your parents for a moment or even your grandparents.
Blairsville Sorghum Festival & Meeks Park
So how did this syrup become the heart of a community? Every great small Georgia town is known for its festival.
Union County Community Center
And you would think that a golf course with a clubhouse this nice and a view this amazing would be at some swanky country club, but it's not.
Union County Public Library
I mean, it's a library, you know? And what could be so special about this one here in Union County, right? Access to fast internet is a necessity for most anyone now.
Farmer's Market & Cannery
So how can a little jar like this help preserve the heritage of Union County? Residents don't want to see their beautiful pristine land in Union County slowly turn into a bunch of housing developments.
Union County Sports Center
So how can this silly little sport of pickleball make lives so much better in Union County? Every great community just absolutely has to have pickleball courts these days.
Public Safety
Fire, EMS, and emergency services
Union County Fire Station
You know, I've heard it said that you can tell a lot about the quality of the community by the quality of its fire department.
Union County Voting Center
Look, we all understand how important it is to have the right to vote, but here in Union County, we also understand that it's just as important to have an easy voting process.
911 Center & Public Safety
You know, we're talking about the bird's eye view of what matters most to Union County.
Infrastructure
Roads, bridges, and public utilities
Fisher Field Road Bridge
So what does a county do when the state condemns an old bridge that provides access to over a dozen homes? Just off Russell Scenic Highway about a quarter mile down Fisherfield Road crosses the Nottely River.
Road Department Equipment
So how can a lawn mower attachment actually make Union County a better place to live? You know, it's easy to take our roadways for granted, but especially in a place like Union County, maintaining roads and roadways is a giant safety necessity.
Glass Recycling Center
So how does turning glass back into sand help make Union County a better place to live both environmentally and economically? Just a five-minute drive from downtown Blairsville the Union County Transfer Station is a recycling center like no other in the area.
Recycling Center
Nobody likes to take the trash out, but it's a job that's got to be done, and maybe that's part of what makes Union County great.
Deep South Farm Road Roundabout
So, in a roundabout way, SPLOST is making access to our local hospital safer and more convenient.
Culverts & Roads Department
So what is a culvert? And why are they so necessary to keep Union County moving? We're about to find out.
Your Tax Dollars at Work
These projects are funded with sales tax revenue rather than property tax revenue.
