After 4 months of record breaking
tourist numbers in Franklin County – there was a substantial drop
in bed tax collections April.
Tourist Development Council Director
John Solomon reported to the county commission that the TDC collected
over 82 thousand dollars in April.
That's about 21 thousand dollars less
than April, 2018, about a 20 percent drop from the year before.
That's about the same as the
collections in April of 2017.
Solomon said part of the problem was
that April 1st fell on a Monday this year so part of the
collections for the month actually happened in March.
The Franklin County Tourist Development
Council collects 2 percent from
every hotel, motel and rental house in the county.
That
money is used to increase tourism in the county and to fund and
maintain more tourist related facilities in the county.
