Marana talks sales tax increase as project costs mount
The Marana Town Council is continuing to narrow its choices for future infrastructure projects that would be funded by a potential new and permanent sales tax increase.
While the council recognizes the need for a new funding source that can help cover the expenses of a rapidly growing town, they expressed concern with the lack of specific details about certain projects and want more time to consider their choices.
Currently on the table are four areas of need: the water treatment campuses in Picture Rocks and Airline/Lambert communities ($16 million), the Northwest Recharge, Recovery and Delivery System ($8.4 million), Barnett Channel construction ($30 million) and phase two of the Tangerine to I-10 project ($17 million).
