E-SPLOST Passes, Upgrades for Snellville Schools

The E-SPLOST is expected to bring $858.9 million in revenue.

Despite the displeasure of some Snellville residents, the E-SPLOST, also known as the Education Special Local Option Sales Tax, passed in Gwinnett County

Precinct 10, which is located in Snellville , was one of only a handful of areas that did not favor the 1-cent sales tax for school upgrades, according to a county map that illustrates final tallies.

Still some 60 percent (20,955) voted for the measure with 40 percent (20,277) voting against it, according to unofficial results posted by county officials.

It is expected to bring $858.9 million in revenue and to add five new schools, one bus facility and nine additions
