(KNZA)--Doniphan County voters will decide during the November 5 general election whether the countywide one percent retailers sales tax should be renewed for additional 5 year period.

The County Commission Monday approved a resolution placing the sales tax initiative on the ballot.

Revenue from the sales tax would be used to finance capital improvement projects, road improvements, to update and modify the countywide 911 system and for property tax relief.

If approved by voters, the sales tax renewal would take effect October 1, 2020.
