$275M public library bond referendum:
Voters to decide Nov. 4
9/15/2008
On November 4, voters will decide whether Fulton County should issue bonds to fund the capital improvements proposed in a new Master Plan for the Atlanta-Fulton County Public Library System, which served 3.7 million visitors last year. Eight new libraries would be built, including ones in East Roswell, Alpharetta and Milton; two current libraries expanded; and 23 renovated, including Spruill Oaks Library.
The bonds would be paid for by Fulton County taxpayers: a $150,000 homeowner would pay approximately $18.96 extra a year; a $300,000 homeowner, approximately $37.92 extra a year. The last AFPL bond was issued in 1985.
