New Hampton LOSST Town Hall Meeting Wednesday

On the November 8th general election ballot, the City of New Hampton will ask its citizens to approve redirecting revenue generated by its one-cent Local Option Sales and Service Tax (LOSST) to help pay for the City’s portion of a public ambulance service in Chickasaw County.

That’s Mayor Bobby Schwickerath, who says the City will host a town hall meeting Wednesday (10.05) night from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at City Hall.

Schwickerath says the City currently generates about $500,000 a year with the one-cent LOSST.

New Hampton’s contribution to operating funds for the ambulance service is estimated to be about $356,000 a year for five years.
