CLINTON — “Sales tax caught up with us this time,” commissioner Tom Edmunds told the city council on Monday.
Edmunds said that both types of sales tax, regular and non-home rule, the city receives were behind the same period in 2018.
“Overall, we’re about $10,000 behind where we were last year,” Edmunds said. “So, come on Tractor Supply.”
Regular city sales tax revenue dropped last August after the closure of Walmart in July produced a spike in those numbers. August was the first month without Walmart sales tax going to the city.
Since the Walmart closure, however, Tractor Supply Company (TSC) and Goodwill Industries announced plans to come to Clinton. TSC and Goodwill will split the empty building formerly occupied by Walmart.
Contractors already are working to ready the building. Representatives of TSC expect the Clinton store to open sometime over the summer.
