MONEY, MONEY, MONEY: Durango's hotel guests may be asked to pitch in a few extra dollars to pay for a convention center under a proposal by a downtown business group. The Durango Business Improvement District Board of directors is crafting a lodger's tax increase, with the intent of placing it on the November ballot for voter's approval.
The tax would fund a convention and events center, an idea that local business leaders have been trying to bring to fruition for years. The board believes the tax would be the best source of revenue for a conference center because local would not have to pay for it.
Durango needs a convention center because not having one turns many convention possibilities away. Plus, the town also needs a building to hold its own events.
The Southern Ute Indian Tribe is currently under construction with their new Sky Ute Casino Resort in Ignacio. This new facility will include conference facilities. We believe this a terrific opportunity for the City of Durango, by developing our own convention facilities, to compliment and work with the Tribe in bringing more people and attention to our wonderful area.
