A groundbreaking was recently held at the site for the $1.3 billion facility that is expected to create 1,000 jobs for northeast Georgia. Big Lots Rebounds: How many Big Lots remain in Georgia 2 years after filing for bankruptcy? A spokesman for Walmart said Wednesday that construction on the 1.5 million-square-foot facility is expected to conclude in 2029, but a timetable has not been set for the hiring of employees. A groundbreaking ceremony included Walmart executives, local elected officials, and others at the site was dedicated in Franklin County near the I-85 corridor. Walmart executives have reported the facility “will combine advanced automation and technology with Walmart associates to increase fulfillment capacity, improve efficiency and help get online orders to customers faster.” The center is an effort by Walmart to transform its supply chain, the store reported. The Georgia Governor’s Office announced in August that Walmart had decided to locate the new plant in northeast Georgia. Walmart and Sam’s Club have 209 stores in Georgia.

Macon-Bibb County Commission seeks to put penny sales tax on future ballots

The Macon-Bibb County Commission wants to ask voters to decide whether to renew an additional penny sales tax that Mayor Lester Miller credits with helping reduce property tax rates over the past five years. The OLOST — which stands for Other Local Option Sales Tax — is a penny-on-the-dollar sales tax first approved by Bibb County voters in 2021. The county commission voted during its meeting Tuesday evening to approve a measure that would allow voters to decide in March whether to renew it for another five years. The ballot item still must be approved by the Macon-Bibb County Board of Elections. Miller said the OLOST has been used to help roll back the millage rate from 20.33 to 9.575 mills. “If it passes then, of course, we’ll continue to collect the penny sales tax and we’ll continue to use that to offset property taxes,” Miller said. “If we put this on the referendum and it fails, then we’ll revert back to the other rate or substantially cut the budget by millions and millions of dollars.” Commissioner Donice Bryant asked if there would be any public hearings or meetings on the matter. Miller replied that it would be against the

Rockdale voters approve FLOST for property tax relief

CONYERS — Rockdale County voters have approved a new 1% sales tax intended to reduce county and city property taxes, according to unofficial election results. The Floating Local Option Sales Tax, or FLOST, received about 64% of the vote in Tuesday’s election. Unofficial results Wednesday showed 21,084 voters supporting the measure and 11,942 voting against it. Rockdale voters approve a 1% FLOST for property tax relief The vote authorizes Rockdale County to collect an additional 1% sales and use tax for five years, with the revenue required to be used exclusively to reduce property taxes imposed by Rockdale County and the city of Conyers. The new tax will raise the combined sales tax rate in Rockdale County from 7% to 8%. County officials estimated ahead of the election that FLOST could generate approximately $26 million countywide in 2027. Under an agreement between Rockdale County and Conyers, approximately 81.5%, or about $21 million, would go to the county, while roughly 18.4%, or $4.8 million, would go to the city. Unlike a SPLOST, which funds designated capital projects, FLOST revenue must fund property tax relief. During a September town hall on the proposal, officials estimated the revenue could reduce the county’s current
