TWENTYNINE PALMS CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERS TOURISM DISTRICT FUNDING TONIGHT

The recently formed Twentynine Palms Tourism Business Improvement District is about to get its due. Reporter David Haldane explains…
Attention hospitality providers doing business in Twentynine Palms is about to get more expensive. That’s the word from the City Council, which tonight will consider a 1.5 percent nightly assessment on the city’s hotels, motels and vacation home rentals. The charge – an addition to the 9 percent Transient Occupancy Tax already required – would fund the newly created Twentynine Palms Tourism Business Improvement District, promoting tourism citywide. If the measure is approved, it will be the subject of a public hearing tentatively scheduled for October 10. In other business, the council will consider rescinding its allegedly outdated Downtown Economic Revitalization Specific Plan and waiving fees for the construction of a new 2,200-square-foot multipurpose room by the Twentynine Palms Historical Society. Tonight’s meeting gets underway 6 p.m. at City Hall on Adobe Road.
