What is One For Coweta?

On September 14, 2021, voters in the city of Coweta will have the opportunity to implement a one-penny sales tax that will create a dedicated source of revenue for improving our public safety, roads, drainage, parks, and other critical infrastructure. If passed, the One for Coweta funds would be used exclusively to accomplish important projects like improving our public safety facilities, enhancing local parks, and improving our roadways.

Key Initiatives

One for Coweta funds can only be used in the ways specified by the voters – meaning they will be dedicated fully to the key areas already identified by the City Council. If approved, this sales tax measure will provide a dedicated fund for necessary improvements to existing city infrastructure. These improvements include:
  • Creating additional lanes and adding shoulders to existing roads in Coweta
  • Updating Coweta Sports Park to improve overall usability and accessibility
  • Expanding and renovating Coweta’s existing Public Safety facility
  • Building a new fire station in the northern part of Coweta
  • Conducting a Master Drainage study to identify areas and methods of improvement to stormwater drainage and retention

How does Coweta fund city expenses?

What are our options to fund existing and future capital projects?

Coweta’s general fund budget is almost entirely composed of local sales tax, and that fund has to support many operating expenses of the City, including public works and public safety. There is no significant source of revenue that can be dedicated solely to road repairs and capital projects. As the City of Coweta grows, the need for capital improvements will grow as well, and the City has two options to fund these growing needs:

Everyone shopping in Coweta - and therefore using the roads in Coweta - funds these necessary projects, not just the property owners.
The burden is on those who own homes and businesses in Coweta only.


As a community, Coweta voters will have the opportunity to approve a one-penny sales tax measure to provide support for infrastructure and public safety investments to sustain Coweta’s forward progress.

Public Information Meetings

The City of Coweta is hosting two in-person public meetings to share details and receive public comments on the sales tax initiative up for a vote on September 14th. The City will also host a digital meeting with citizens.
