Segment 1: Convention Centers
You may not realize it, but convention centers are central to quality of life and growth in your county. Not everyone likes to be taxed a lot, so convention centers are a way for county governments to help subsidize quality of life and general growth in their counties through attracting convention dollars. TRT and TRCC taxes are at the heart of the way many projects throughout a county are funded and those taxes are paid by visitors. In this segment, Malia Bascom presents a report on the background of county convention centers.
