Habersham jail borrowing and sales-tax plan remained a proposal at August work session

Habersham County officials considered proposed terms Aug. 5, 2025, for a countywide referendum that could have asked voters to authorize up to $52 million in general-obligation bonds for a new Habersham County Jail and continue the 1% sales and use tax for six years. The item appeared at a county work session; it documents consideration of the language, not a final vote by officials or an election result.
