City of Plymouth local sales and use tax imposition authorization

SF 3601 authorizes the city of Plymouth to impose a local sales and use tax of up to 0.5% (one-half of one percent) on taxable purchases, pending voter approval. The tax revenues must fund specific projects: $45 million for Plymouth Ice Center improvements (including a parking ramp), $40 million for Plymouth Community Center upgrades (including a fieldhouse), and $35 million for regional sports complexes. The city may also issue up to $120 million in bonds to finance these projects, with the tax repaying the bonds, and the tax would expire after 20 years or when project costs are fully covered. This bill directly affects Plymouth residents and businesses through the new tax, while directing funds toward local recreational infrastructure.
