Greenville County, OneGreenville and Greenville Connects are hosting a series of free public education events to provide information on the county’s proposed transportation penny tax referendum.
The referendum will appear on the Nov. 3 general election ballot alongside four municipal local option measures in Greenville, Mauldin, Simpsonville and Travelers Rest. If approved by voters, the county’s transportation sales and use tax would add a 1% tax on eligible purchases to generate funding for roadway improvements, land preservation and public transportation.
