Colonial Inn <br /> P,O. Box 346 <br /> CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA 28026-061~' ~ ~'' <br /> Telephone (704) 782-2i46 <br /> <br /> March 14, 1989 <br /> <br />Concord-Cabarrus County Chamber of Commerce <br />Board of Directors <br />23 Union Street N <br />Concord, NC 28025 <br /> <br />Dear Sirs: <br /> <br /> I would like to go on record as opposing the l~otel-motel occupancy tax <br />proposed for Cabarrus County. <br /> <br /> A vary small percentage (less thao 2%) of our guests staying with us <br />are here overnight just to visit Cannon Village, Reed Gold Mine, Concord <br />Speedway or any other local attraction. The only guests wa have, on a <br />regular basis, of any consequence would be the two weekends a year for the <br />Charlotte Motor Speedway races. The Charlotte Motor Speedway attracts <br />10~000 times mere visitors for Concord and K&unapolis than Cannon Village or <br />the other local attractions ever will. Other than the two race weekends, <br />over 95% of our business comes from commercial travelers or people passing <br />through the area. <br /> <br /> It is not a fair tax, and my brother, Jim Propst, and myself totally <br />oppose it. <br /> <br /> Sincerely~ ~ __. <br /> <br /> [ .~o~ M, t~ropst ' <br /> ~..~ice President <br />JMP: pma <br /> <br /> <br />
