Charleston County Sales & Use Tax — Question 2

What does this measure do?

Supports: Public Infrastructure

Charleston County could borrow up to $300 million to start the road, transit, and greenbelt projects in Question 1 sooner, repaid within 25 years from that half-percent sales tax. No separate property tax would be needed; the bonds only work if Question 1 passes.
