Workshops seek input from Elk Grove citizens on how to spend Measure E’s millions

Consumers will pay at least $23 million in additional taxes

The City of Elk Grove and the Cosumnes Community Services District will hold four weekly worships to seek input from Elk Grove residents on how proceeds from Measure E should be spent. Approved by voters in November, Measure E increases sales taxes in Elk Grove by one percent.

The workshops start on Tuesday, February 7, and will be followed for the next three weeks. The topics to be covered include public safety, economic development, homelessness, and park and facilities maintenance.

The session will start on each of the four Tuesdays at 6 p.m. and will be held at the District56 facility. More information about the workshops is available on the city’s website.

The Measure E tax increase is forecast to increase consumer costs by $23 million annually and will increase over time with inflation.
