Crawford Trustees Follow-up on Business License Idea

Budget woes had let town trustees to discuss the possibility of instituting a Crawford business license ordinance as a way of garnering additional tax revenue, as detailed in an earlier post. However, at the June 15 work session, town officials decided that income from business license fees wouldn’t offset the cost of instituting the license system.

Additionally, town officials want the ‘no business license fee’ to be an attraction for businesses to open up shop in the small town which would bring possible other sources of revenue to the area. As Delta County Independent explains, “The biggest concern in requiring a business license was that it would make the Town of Crawford unattractive to new businesses.”

Town officials thus decided to shelve the business license idea for other possible sources of revenue.
