VIGO COUNTY, Ind. – The Vigo County Council discussed a proposed Food and Beverage tax at their meeting last night.

The 1% tax on food and beverages sold at eating establishments would be used to help pay for a new convention center in Terre Haute.

It is expected that the tax would raise between $1 to $2 million dollars annually.

Leaders did not take any action but did listen to a few public comments.

Vigo County leaders say a vote on the food and beverage tax will likely take place on Monday at 4p.m.
