Wabash County Braces For Downturn In Sales Tax Revenue

Wabash County officials are bracing for a hit in revenue generated by the loss of sales tax revenue when businesses were forced to close during the pandemic lockdown. County treasurer Beverly McBride reported to the county board that reports she’s received all indicate the county’s income may take a hit when sales tax numbers come in for the time businesses were closed. She did point out that the state seems to be on schedule with their reimbursement payments to counties.
