Well, you don’t see this too often – Lampasas FAR outperforming the entire state in sales tax receipts, PLUS a lot of other cities!
State of Texas was basically flat at -0.30% and now up a paltry 2% YTD compared to last year.
Lampasas was UP 5% – and is now basically flat (+0.63) YTD compared to last year.
Burnet: UP 0.31%
Marble Falls: DOWN 3.14%
Dallas: UP 0.15%
Austin: FLAT
This is the first time in forever I remember Lampasas beating EVERYONE! The weird thing is, our economic development director “resigned” last month and this is the first report since that happened. Coincidence?
Probably.
