Charlottesville Voters to Decide on 1% Sales Tax for School Renovations
What happened
Voters in Charlottesville will decide on election night whether to authorize a new 1% sales tax. This referendum, called “Yes for Cville Schools,” would provide the school division with an estimated $12 million in additional revenue each year to fund building and infrastructure renovations. Chris Meyers, a Charlottesville City Schools board member, noted that the measure gives the city council more tools to adjust taxes.
