Palmetto's

government will see a benefit of between $347,000 and $409,000 if Coweta

voters approve a special purpose sales tax Sept. 18.

Coweta's municipalities

will finalize their proposed projects for the vote July 24.

Representatives

of the municipalities met Tuesday morning to discuss priorities.

County Administrator

Theron Gay told the leaders that $35 million of the funds is earmarked

for a new justice center.

Gay said the

county had projected $88 million in funds generated over a five-year period

with a 7.5 percent growth rate.

But if the

county grows 11 percent a year, nearly $98 million would be generated.

Palmetto is

partially in Coweta County. City Administrator Bill Shell said the funds

would be used for street and sewer system improvements.

Gay asked all

the cities to have their lists ready by the July 24 meeting.

"I would

go conservative on the project budgets, because the justice center has

to be paid first," he said.

The July 24

meeting is set for 4 p.m. at the Administrative Complex.
