The Randolph County Quorum Court has approved an ordinance to place a sales and use tax proposal on the November ballot. County voters will decide whether to implement the additional tax, which would be used to expand the Randolph County Sheriff’s Department and fund the construction of a new county jail.
Officials say the proposed tax is aimed at addressing growing needs for law enforcement infrastructure in the area. No further details about the proposal were immediately available.
The tax’s approval will ultimately depend on the outcome of November’s election. Residents are encouraged to review the plan and participate in the vote.
