The Board of Commissioners will use SPLOST funding to upgrade the lighting at the I-85 and Sugarloaf Park­way underpass to LEDs. LED lights are more energy effi­cient than the current incandescent lighting, which was installed in 1997 when the interchange was built. The Sugarloaf Community Improvement District will con­tribute $30,000 toward the project and the County will contribute the remaining $165,000, funded by the 2017 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax program.
