Executive Summary Report – Community Center & Capital Infrastructure Program

Share

The Galesburg City Council is currently considering an ordinance to increase the Home Rule Sales Tax Rate from 1.00% to 1.25%. The additional .25% would generate approximately $950,000 annually in home rule sales tax revenue, which would be utilized as a component of the overall strategy to fund infrastructure improvements and the development of a community center. This ordinance was considered on first reading by the Galesburg City Council at the December 5, 2022 meeting, and is scheduled for a final reading on December 19, 2022. In order to provide comprehensive information to the public regarding the proposed community center, capital infrastructure program, and proposed sales tax increase, an executive summary report has been prepared and is available on the city’s website to provide a comprehensive overview. 

A special city council meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 14th at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall in order to receive public comments and provide information regarding the proposed sales tax increase. The agenda is available on the city’s website, and citizens are welcome to join in person or via Google Meet to participate in the meeting.
