Homewood Considers New Restaurant Tax: On the Agenda

Homewood trustees and Village President Richard Hofeld will meet with village staff on Tuesday, Jan. 28 for the regularly scheduled village business meeting.

Among the agenda items is a vote to create a new “Places for Eating Tax.” Should it pass, the tax will be “imposed wherever food is sold at retail for immediate consumption on the premises where seating is provided,” according to the agenda. 

Additional details of the proposed tax, such as the rate and planned implementation, were not provided in the public meeting agenda. Patch plans to follow up with more information following Tuesday's meeting.
