FLORENCE – The draft for the proposed half-cent sales tax increase has been returned and county officials will begin advertising it this week, officials said.

During the Lauderdale County Commission meeting Monday, county attorney Chris Smith notified commissioners that the draft of the resolution passed earlier this month, has been returned and ready for advertising.

The bill calls for a half-cent sales tax to fund an economic development fund.

County officials said the bill must be advertised for four consecutive weeks before it can be introduced by the Alabama Legislatures.
