Williamson City Council Increases Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax.
Beginning July 1, occupants staying at a hotel or motel in the City of Williamson will pay an additional three percent in taxes.
The measure was passed by Williamson City Council.
Mayor Darrin McCormick says the tax would increase annual revenue from $ 30,000 to $ 50,000.
The money would be used for the newly formed Convention Visitors Bureau.
McCormick says that the center will better promote the city.
The mayor added that the city is working on plans to develop a camping and RV park along Fairview Addition.
McCormick says that there will be a fishing pier, primitive camping area, all terrain vehicle safety training course and a walking trail.
