Increase City sales tax revenue by:
- Attracting and retaining retail inside municipal boundaries using the following specific strategies from the Retail Plan:
- Strengthen and expand existing regional retail destinations.
- Continue to pursue one-in-the-market retailers with potential to attract shoppers from the entire metro area.
- Partner with Penn Square regional node property owners to develop a plan for retail expansion of the node.
- Plan for one new regional retail node in the city by 2030. This node should be planned for the downtown area in concert with efforts to attract a lifestyle or mixed-use town center.
- Attract another Hispanic-focused supermarket to serve the area south of I-40.
- Actively seek a natural foods grocer to serve the Midtown and Deep Deuce neighborhoods.
- Reaffirm, revitalize, or re-vision existing retail nodes and corridors by following the recommendations for each node or corridor in the Retail Plan.
- Hastening the creation of a fair and simple way to appropriately tax online purchases.
