GAINESVILLE - An organized effort has been launched to promote passage of the sales tax extension which will be voted on in a referendum March 17.<br />

Proponents of passage of the SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) have created the Hall Progress 2015 Committee to spearhead their efforts.
