WHY TO CONTINUE THE
¼ PENNY SALES TAX

DID YOU KNOW?

The citizens of Goshen County were the first in Wyoming to approve a county sales tax for economic development!


Voting to continue this ¼ penny sales tax not only makes sense for Goshen County; it actually makes cents (and dollars, too) for Goshen County businesses, municipalities, and nonprofits!

To date, the funds collected through ¼ penny sales tax have allowed Goshen Economic Development to award more than $1.2 million to local businesses, municipalities, and nonprofits.
