Augusta has worked to use SPLOST funds to support the increased demands of the citizens for facilities that are convenient to use, easy to navigate, and modern in form and function. The investment in public buildings is expected to pay dividends for the citizens in the long term by providing locations where citizens can go to participate in the local government process through a variety of activities like attending meetings, voting, serving on committees, serving on juries, paying fees or taxes in return for services, or simply storing, researching, and viewing public documents.
