Pecos voters weigh venue tax for rodeo arena restoration
Pecos voters on May 7 will decide a venue tax to fund restoration of the Buck Jackson Rodeo Arena along with city, school board and hospital elections. A 2 percent increase to the 7 percent hotel motel tax could raise about $48,000 annually and allow a venue district to issue bonds and oversee the project. If approved, work could begin in six months and Reeves County Detention Center inmates may assist after training. The arena, built in the 1920s, is described as a historic site needing renewal.
