SUMMARY:Economic Development in Springfield
DESCRIPTION:Do Incentives Deliver on the Promises?\nSpringfield is planning a new convention center project\, estimated to cost $175 million\, with funding coming from a half-cent sales tax\, state support\, and private partnerships. Recently\, the Springfield City Council unanimously approved placing a measure on the November 4 ballot that would increase the lodging tax from 13.1% to 16% to help fund the convention center project. \nJoin us as Patrick Tuohey\, senior fellow at the Show-Me Institute\, lays out the pros and cons of subsidies and tax incentives used to fund economic development projects. \nPlease RSVP by emailing events@showmeinstitute.org. \nWednesday\, October 15 \nThe Library Center \n4653 S. Campbell Avenue \nSpringfield\, MO 65810 \nDoors open: 11:30 a.m. \nDiscussion and Q&A: 12—1:00 p.m. \nComplimentary lunch will be served. \nRSVP HERE FOR THIS FREE EVENT\nAdvance registration is required.
