Scottsdale considers hotel tax to fund $2.2 million stadium complex
Scottsdale City Council weighs a 2 percent hotel tax to back a $2.2 million multi purpose sports complex near Indian School and Hayden Roads with a 3,000 seat stadium and baseball fields. The plan requires a general obligation bond and faces opposition from the Chamber of Commerce and hotel owners who argue the tax is discriminatory. Maintenance would total about $176,000 annually, with bonds costing roughly $200,000 per year and tax revenue around $295,000 plus $55,000 for maintenance.
