Williston Parks & Rec to hold election to extend sales tax

Williston voters head to the polls Tuesday with a key choice on the table: keep funding parks through a one percent sales tax or shift the burden back to property owners. Since 2012, the sales tax has helped support local recreation without raising mill levies — a strategy leaders say captures more from out-of-town visitors. With the Area Rec Center nearly paid off, the vote would extend that tax permanently, keeping future projects like golf and ice facilities on track. Polls open 8 a.m. at the ARC board room.
