Public hearing on the use of Ramsey County Transportation Sales and Use Tax Funds

The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on the revisions to the list of projects eligible for the Ramsey County Transportation Sales and Use Tax funds.

Background

To provide a safe and efficient multi-modal transportation system, the Ramsey County board of commissioners approved the imposition of a one-half percent sales tax and $20 excise tax on new vehicles (Sales and Use Tax) consistent with the requirements of Minnesota Statute 297A.993 by Resolution B2017-143 on June 13, 2017. The projects identified in resolution B2017-143 have either been completed, are still in development or are no longer being pursued.

New projects may be added to utilize the Sales and Use Tax if they are designated by the county board following a public hearing. Holding the public hearing will allow the county board to revise the list of projects eligible for Sales and Use Tax funding by removing those that have been completed or are no longer being pursued as well as by adding in new projects.
