The LCCCA (Convention Center Authority) can legally take the PDCVB’s (Tourist Bureau) 20% share of the 3.9% part of the “hotel tax” without asking anyone. I am convinced that the County Commissioners will raise the “hotel tax” rather than let the PDCVB lay off people and slash their advertising for Lancaster County tourism.
Note the County Commissioners would NOT be raising taxes to provide extra money for the project, they would only be restoring the PDCVB’s currentfunding level. I’m sure they have all the excuses figured out already.
