City Council

East Carson St. business owners ask to pay taxes for neighborhood improvements.

Business and property owners on East Carson Street have asked to pay extra property tax for neighborhood improvements. The proposed improvement district would raise an estimated $500,000 in its first year for public spaces, filling storefronts, and branding. It would start Jan. 1, 2027, and last five years. Still, council must authorize it, and a public hearing hasn't been scheduled yet.
