Community Chamber of Commerce of EMC
Fire Initiative Election – Why it is important for East Montgomery County PDF Print E-mail
Andy Dill, Chamber PresidentFor the last six years I have had the honor of serving as President of the Community Chamber of Commerce of East Montgomery County and during that time I have witnessed many areas of success within our community.  Much of that success has been driven by the one cent sales tax that the East Montgomery County Improvement District (EMCID) collects on taxable sales within their jurisdictional boundaries. 

Since their inception EMCID has continually recruited and brought new economic development opportunities to our community.   Coupled with their community development grant program they have impacted thousands of lives each year.  These efforts have been made possible by the one cent sales tax that we as purchasers pay on taxable items within EMCID’s boundaries.  Two of our local emergency services districts (Porter Fire and New Caney Fire) each collect an additional half-cent within their respective service boundaries.  Added to the state’s 6.25% this brings the total to 7.75% that we pay on taxable items.  EMCID has recently authorized and called for a half-cent sales tax election that will bring the total collected to 8.25% just like everyone pays in all the surrounding areas.  The election will be held on November 3rd with early voting the two weeks prior.
