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.
