Economic Development Funding
In 1984, the citizens of Pueblo, Colorado gave their approval for adding a half cent sales tax on themselves to create funding for economic development and to bring primary jobs to the area. Since 1984, the extension of the half cent sales tax has continually received their approval. Thousands of primary jobs have been brought to Pueblo through the continued support of this measure.
