A three-year snapshot of sales tax collections at the city of Scottsdale paints a picture of economic stability and strong gains bolstered by continued growth in the local tourism, automotive and retail industries.
City sales taxes collected over the past three years in all three categories have seen solid improvement, according to records provided to the Scottsdale Independent.
The numbers show a steady stream of sales tax dollars that have finally equaled and then surpassed totals last seen prior to the start of the Great Recession.
