Stearns County will hold a public hearing in June to look at adding road construction projects to its program thanks to higher-than-anticipated sales tax revenue.
Benton County drivers will get some better roads in the future after county commissioners approved a half-percent local option sales tax for transportation projects.
It could cost Stearns County residents more when they license their vehicles or when they buy merchandise in the county. Commissioners are considering options to raise additional money for county road and bridge projects.
