CITY'S TOP TAX EARNERS SALUTED MAYOR CITES BUSINESSES.


Byline: Daily News

LANCASTER - Lancaster officials treated representatives of 25 local businesses to a luncheon in a salute to the city's top sales-tax generators.

In honoring the businesses, Mayor Frank Roberts Frank Roberts may refer to:
  • Frank Roberts (diplomat) (1907-1998), British diplomat
  • Frank Roberts (footballer) (born 1893), English footballer
  • Frank Crowther Roberts (1891-1982), English recipient of the Victoria Cross

 encouraged people to shop locally, because the sales taxes generated are a major proportion of City Hall revenue.

``When people shop locally they buy more than the items you sell them,'' Roberts told the business people. ``They buy money for Lancaster.''

Lancaster's sales tax revenues are expected this year to reach $13.1 million, equivalent to the amount the city spends on its Sheriff's Department contract and animal control, plus half the cost of maintaining city parks.

The 25 top sales-tax generators brought half the total, City Manager Jim Gilley said.

Roberts and Gilley handed out certificates of appreciation to the businesses that attended the buffet luncheon at Park Plaza Hotel The Plaza Hotel in New York City is a landmark 19-story luxury hotel with a height of 250 feet (76 m) and length of 400 feet that (122 m) occupies the west side of Grand Army Plaza, from which it derives its name, and extends along Central Park South in Manhattan. .
