Supporting Passage of a Food and Beverage Tax to Fund Expansion of the Monroe County Convention Center
This resolution expresses the City of Bloomington’s support for Monroe County to pass a local food and beverage tax to fund the expansion of the Monroe County Convention Center. Because of its limited size, the Convention Center has been unable to accommodate many requests from groups wishing to hold events there over the past several years. Expanding the size of the Convention Center and its adjacent hotel will significantly enhance the economic and civic benefits of the Convention Center for the citizens of Monroe County and the City of Bloomington.
