Posted by Riley Hebert-News Director
The Neillsville Chamber of Commerce would like to receive some benefit from the city’s recently implemented room tax.
The 3% tax was approved in 2008 and went into affect at the city’s 3 hotels on January 1, 2009.
In approving the tax, the council said 70% of the proceeds will be used for tourism promotion and development; 30% will go to parks and recreation.
City Clerk Rex Roehl says representatives from the Chamber were at the City Council’s meeting last night requesting they receive the 70% that’s allotted for tourism and promotion. No action was taken on the request.
The City currently has a Tourism Committee that is working on an application process for organizations to receive that money.
The city budgeted to receive about $10,000 from the tax this year.
