Galime urges Common Council to endorse Utica’s bed tax proposal.
Utica Mayor Mike Galime is advocating for a bed tax on hotel and short-term lodging stays to generate revenue for the city. He urges the Utica Common Council to support this measure, which he believes will help alleviate the financial burden on residents while benefiting the hospitality and tourism sector. Although specific tax rates weren’t disclosed, Galime noted that similar taxes in other municipalities have successfully funded development and tourism initiatives. The proposal will proceed to New York state for approval if the Council agrees.
