A group called Project Anchorage is proposing a 3% sales tax for AnchorageANCHORAGE, Alaska - A coalition of Anchorage business leaders led by the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation announced the launch of AEDC President Jenna Wright said the initiative would primarily lower property tax es for Anchorage residents and would also spur other economic activity.
The group is actively looking for ideas for projects to fund and is asking people to go its website to put in projects to be considered. Anchorage has never had a sales tax; an effort to introduce one in 2006 failed, and another effort in 2016 was withdrawn before it went to voters. The proposed tax wouldn’t be in effect for what the group called household necessities — things like groceries, gas, or medical expenses — it would cover other purchases, including food at restaurants.
