Mt. Juliet voters will have a say in how the city funds its growth this fall. A ballot question will ask voters to decide whether to repeal "home rule", which city commissioners believe would allow the city to require developers to pay more for long-term infrastructure costs.

The city currently relies on sales and property taxes to fund projects like roads, sewers, and parks. If the repeal is approved, the city could fold some of these costs into impact fees paid by developers upfront. Further details on the proposal and its potential impact are available from local news sources.
