Morrilton City Council Explores Voluntary Tax for Parks & Recreation
The Morrilton City Council is considering a new initiative to boost funding for local parks and recreational facilities. At its recent meeting, the Council explored the idea of introducing a voluntary tax that residents can choose to pay along with their property tax. This tax would specifically support parks and recreational programs in the area.
The proposal follows the same format as the existing sales tax, but with a significant difference: residents would have the option to opt-out if they choose not to contribute.
The Council is expected to discuss this proposal further in the coming weeks to determine its feasibility and present it to voters.
Many residents have expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of enhancing local parks and recreational facilities, which they believe will enhance overall quality of life in Morrilton. If the tax is approved, it would provide a dedicated source of funding for these initiatives.
While there are still discussions to be had, the initial response to the proposal hints at a strong possibility of its implementation in the near future.
The fate of the voluntary tax now lies in the hands of the Council and, ultimately, the voters of Morrilton. As the city continues to grow and develop, initiatives like this tax proposal will significantly shape the local community’s future.
