Bayland Island project to pay for itself plan outlined
City Manager Rick Davis argues the Bayland Island hotel and convention project will be funded without taxpayer burden. Funds would come from sales and hotel occupancy taxes and hotel cash flow, with the city owning the convention center and land. HB 4347 limits debt and allows Baytown to share HOT and sales tax for 10 years, totaling about 9 million, per spokesman Mark Miller. The Baytown Public Facilities Corp oversees the nonprofit aspects.
