Prairie du Chien City Council holds Public Hearing on increasing Lodging Room Tax

The Prairie du Chien City Council held a hearing to increase the room tax rate from six-percent to eight-percent. The proposed increase would include rental of rooms or lodging accommodations furnished by hotels, motels, tourist rooming houses, short-term rentals, and other lodging establishments. The Council will continue discussion on the idea at the November 17th meeting.

The Council rescinded a bid of nearly 142-thousand dollars for the bank improvement project at Mill Coulee Creek. The City has decided to focus on the Picatee and DuCharme stream banks.
