Cherokee County Georgia T-SPLOST breakdown: $445 million for roads starting April 2026
Cherokee County voters approved a 1% transportation sales tax last November. Collection started April 1 2026. Six years. $445 million projected.
Most coverage stopped at the vote. I dug into the actual project list by city.
Woodstock gets $65.6 million. Biggest projects are Holly Springs Parkway widening and a Diverging Diamond interchange upgrade at Ridgewalk Parkway and I-575. Same design as Windy Hill Road at I-75 in Cobb County.
Canton gets $60.8 million. Three new roundabouts on Hickory Flat Highway. Paved greenway connections throughout the city. Construction targeted 2028.
Holly Springs gets $34.5 million. Hickory Road widening. Palm Street Bridge replacement. Sixes Road realignment.
Unincorporated Cherokee County gets $275.5 million for intersection improvements on Arnold Mill, East Cherokee Drive, Bells Ferry Road, and Highway 140 corridors plus road widenings and bridge replacements.
55 miles of resurfacing already underway in 2026.
The honest question worth asking: is this building infrastructure for the county Cherokee is becoming or just bandaging what already exists while new density keeps getting approved on the same corridors.
