McDONOUGH — In what amounted to an hour-long argument, the Henry County Board of Commissioners could not come to a decision on where to build the county’s new aquatic center.
The center is part of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax V project list approved by voters in 2019. A total of $22 million has been set aside to fund the project.
