The Texarkana Arkansas City Board of Directors will be addressing a proposal to repeal the A&P Tax for restaurants and hotels in the city in a meeting that will be at 4:00 pm this afternoon and can be viewed via Zoom.
We spoke with Director Steven Hollibush about his proposal last week. Abolishing the tax would save local businesses by not charging additional taxes over the same type of businesses in Texarkana Texas.
The tax is to be used to fund advertising and promotions for the city.
