advertised for a public hearing for the Board to consider the
establishment of a Tourism Improvement District (TID). He
further stated the proposed TID, which has been requested by
local lodging business owners, would establish a fee of 2
percent of gross short-term rental revenue for lodging
businesses that have forty-one rooms or more anywhere in the
county. He stated the proposed fees would be collected and
paid in a manner similar to the County’s transient occupancy
tax. He further stated Richmond Region Tourism has been
identified as the administering non-profit organization who
would oversee the expenditure of the collected fees for the
purpose of increasing tourism to the County. He stated the
statute requires that the Board hold a public hearing to hear
comments on the proposed TID. He noted written notice of the
public hearing and a copy of the proposed TID plan were
provided to all lodging business owners in the County who would
be affected by the TID. He stated lodging business owners will
have an additional thirty days from the conclusion of the
public hearing to submit written objections to the TID. He
further stated unless objections are received from lodging
business owners who will pay fifty percent or more of the
expected fees, the Board will have the option of passing an
ordinance to establish the TID at a later date, currently
scheduled for April 26, 2023.

surplus real estate tax revenue back to taxpayers if i) the
locality reports an overall surplus for the fiscal year and 2)
