                                  Tax Revenue from  2020 to 2021





            When COVID-19 disrupted global, national and local economies in 2020, many believed local sales tax revenues
            would plummet from reduced consumer activities such as shopping and eating out. However, Florence County did
            not experience the same level of reduction as some other areas.  The Capital Project Sales Tax revenues from 2020
            to 2021 actually show a robust growth. Early engagement with the business community indicated that Florence
            County residents came together to support local businesses during the pandemic, and many businesses were able
            to access various funding supports.
