LOUISVILLE, Ken. --– The Louisville Arena Task Force is considering a number of options to help finance a new arena --– among them, a 3% car rental tax that the Louisville Metro Council would need to approve.
Paul Coomes, a consultant for the task force, assembled a list of potential revenue sources to pay off the arena's annual debt, the Courier-Journal newspaper reported. Coomes estimated a 3% rental car tax would generate $1 million annually.
The arena's cost is estimated at $162 million if it's built at the Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center, the newspaper reported. However, if the construction site is downtown instead, the estimated cost climbs to $270 million.
Gov. Ernie Fletcher appointed the 18-member arena task force in April. The group faces an Oct 1 deadline to select a construction site and approve a financing plan.
The arena's main tenant will be the University of Louisville.
LOR overall continues to trend downward, but ongoing market and economic conditions could affect future results while the industry deals with staffing and productivity challenges.
