According to Palmer, there are two ideas being discussed. A Lighting surcharge and then a natural gas franchise fee. The lighting enhancement would bring in about $1.4 Million (
Rochester has about 10,000 streetlights). I think we d raise a bout $3 million in revenue on, on the gas one. said the council member.
Would these revenue enhancements bring our tax rate down? No. The exchange went like this,
Shaun Palmer (00:52): There s one argument that, you know, if you re charging this amount for taxes and you charge this much more for streetlights, then lower my taxes. And that would be a great idea. Right? Don t think that that s one of the ideas that it s going to make pass, though.

Technically, they ll be moving less than a mile to a 34,000-square-foot store nearer John Hardy s North and and Bowman s Doors Solutions in Rochester, Minnesota. That s according to a plan filed with the city. As their size increases more jobs could be added to the 12 current employees. QW Furniture first opened as Quality Woods Furniture in 1989 in a small building in Rochester, MN. Owned and operated by a local family, Quality Woods soon out grew their original location. Over the course of the next decade, Quality Woods underwent several building additions and remodel projects as the business continued to grow and needed more space. (Source)
