Transit Tax will benefit many

Great crowds for the parade and football game, friends and graduates coming back to renew friendships and celebrating Homecoming in the town where they continued their education, just a wonderful week-end.

The city of Maryville and Northwest have formed a partnership that has been of great benefit to both entities and all of Northwest Missouri. Next Tuesday we as citizens of the city have a chance to enhance our community by voting for the “Transit Tax” which will help build an indoor multipurpose complex on the campus and also add a revenue stream to Nodaway County Economic Development which will help keep business and factories alive in our community and perhaps bring in new opportunities.

I hope you will join me in voting for the “Transit Tax” next Tuesday to be paid by guests staying in the Maryville motels and the cabins at Mozingo which will be of benefit to the university and Nodaway County by letting those who stay here pay a little to help Northwest Missouri grow.
