Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry says city general revenue money freed by a proposed gas tax increase could pay for projects in addition to septic tank removal.
At a March 30 meeting with the Southside Business Men’s Club, Curry said he wants to hear from City Council members where the unencumbered money should be spent.
“The big proposal is septic tanks. We have neglected septic tanks for decades because the problem is too big. It’s a multibillion project. We’re going to take a bite out of the apple,” Curry said.
