A referendum will be on the November ballot that could lead to major facelifts for some Citrus County roads.
Officials have been hearing from residents who say not enough is being done to keep the roads in good shape.
On Election Day, voters will have the opportunity to change that. A one-cent sales tax increase is up for vote on the November ballot.
County officials say the money would be used to resurface and maintain all paved, residential roads owned by the county.
If voters approve the tax increase, officials say it would generate $11.6 million a year, and that it would be in effect for 20 years. The sales tax in Citrus would be 7 percent if passed.
Officials say they need the money to pave neighborhood roads, as gas tax money is being used for other road projects and there aren't enough funds for both.
Resident Claudette Lincoln said she likes the idea of the referendum.
"I think it is a great idea," she said. "I don't think too many people would miss their penny."
However, Barbara White said she's against the increase. She said way too much tax money has already been wasted over the years.
"They are scrambling to find some way to make that money up and we don't have it," she said.
Next month county leaders will be hosting several public workshops so voters can learn more about the "Cent for Citrus" referendum.
