S.P.L.O.S.T. Votes Help!

The citizens of Cartersville and Bartow County have been extremely generous in their support of a 1-cent Special Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). The community has passed 3 consecutive SPLOST votes to support the schools with funds designed toward a variety of capital projects. Thanks to our community, we continue to have excellent facilities, adequate technology, and lower debt.
