Orange County mayor wonโt support extending tourist tax agreement
Read full article: Orange County mayor wonโt support extending tourist tax agreementORANGE COUNTY, Fla. โ โAfter further review,โ Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said he would vote against the current agreement with Universal Orlando to extend Kirkman Road connecting the theme park companyโs future attraction, Epic Universe. Taxes from that district go toward road improvements in the tourist district instead of items for Orange County residents, such as police departments and schools. The Universal Orlando agreement with the county would extend the taxing district to 2040, continuing to route funds into the tourist district. The Orange County Board of Commissioners was set to vote on the deal Tuesday. Demings said in a statement Friday he wonโt support the agreement as is and asked the commission to re-examine the end date on the taxing district.
