Drivers should look for mowers and large equipment this week.

Crews will work on sign maintenance on Hwy 15 and Hwy 242, between mile posts 24-31 and between mile posts 0-23.

That work could be anywhere between 7 a.m. and 3:30 Monday through Friday this week.

You're encouraged to voice your opinion about a proposed property tax increase in Washington County.

According to a notice, the proposed tax increase is 11.16%, an increase of 1.769 mills.

You can attend one of three meetings:

• July 31, at 11:30 a.m.
• July 31, at 6 p.m.
• August 7, 5 p.m.

Those meetings are the Washington County Board of Education at 501 Industrial Drive in Sandersville.

If your home is $100,000 as fair market value, then the property tax increase would cost you $170 more in annual property taxes..
