IOWA CITY Hears Plan to Divert Hotel Taxes for Hilton Garden Inn
Iowa City Council will consider routing 50 percent of room taxes from the Hilton Garden Inn at 328 S Clinton St to the developer to shorten the TIF repayment. The move aims to close an 8.8 million financing gap in a 33 million project and cut the rebate period to 12 to 15 years. CVB president calls impact minimal while noting ongoing tax diversions at Coralville’s Marriott.
