The City of Fairfield will hold a public hearing on March 8th before a City Council meeting to discuss the possible implementation of a business district in the city. The move would increase sales tax by one percent within the district boundaries. Mayor Mike Dreith says the city currently has a seven percent sales tax rate, the lowest in the immediate area, and the proposal would move it to eight percent. He also claims about 67 percent of money spent inside the proposed boundaries comes from outside the City. The City of Harrisburg recently added a similar district. Mayor John McPeek says he implement a .75 percent tax increase for a district in January 2021, and it went into effect in June. He says it has brought in a significant amount of money from out-of-town shoppers who want to hit some of the bigger chains present in Harrisburg. He is also cognizant a tax increase of any kind is a tough pill to swallow, but it is his belief cities need some way to bring in income. The Village
