Ballot Issue Education: Rochester City Sales Tax Extension

  • Rochester Public Library - Auditorium 101 2nd Street Southeast Rochester, MN, 55904 United States (map)

Join City of Rochester staff to learn more about the city sales tax extension that will be on the ballot this November. The City of Rochester is pursuing a renewal of the existing .5% sales tax. A Local Option Sales Tax has been in place since the 1980s, and it was most recently renewed in 2012. The City is requesting the following four projects be funded with sales tax revenue:

  • Economic Vitality Fund

  • Street Reconstruction

  • Flood Control and Water Quality

  • Regional Sports and Recreation Complex

We invite the public to attend in person, watch the livestream, or view the recording afterwards. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions. Questions can also be submitted ahead of time by filling out a form using this link https://forms.gle/eUFwuSLo8yzQ94Qg9.

To view the livestream for each session or view recordings afterwards, go to the Library's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/RochPubLibrary.

Election day is Tuesday, November 7th, 2023. Be an informed voter!
