Fort Collins has been using voter-approved sales tax initiatives to fund major capital projects since 1973 — including landmark facilities like Old Town Library, City Hall, Mulberry Pool and the Lincoln Center. Now, the city is seeking to renew a quarter-cent capital sales tax to build new community amenities and expand or improve existing ones.
The Community Capital Improvement Program tax would equate to 25 cents on every $100 purchase, not including grocery purchases. If renewed, it could generate an estimated $11 million per year until 2035.
