流动市长提出2%的住宿税涨价, 以资助新的机场及公民中心更新。 Mobile Mayor proposes 2% lodging tax hike to fund new airport and Civic Center updates.

流动市长Sandy Stimpson提议将城市住宿税从8%提高至10%, Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson proposes raising the city's lodging tax from 8% to 10% to fund the new downtown airport and Civic Center renovations. 这一增加将在头十年每年至少产生3亿美元,用于支付机场费用和偿还公民中心债务。 The increase would generate at least $300 million annually for the first decade, with funds covering airport expenses and repaying Civic Center debts. 之后,收入将由该市的普通基金支付。 Afterward, the revenue would go to the city's general fund. 增税以游客为目标,因为当地人占房间夜间不到1%。 The tax hike targets tourists, as locals account for less than 1% of room nights. 理事会将很快对该提案进行表决。 The council will vote on the proposal soon.
