The Issue
Salem lacks the variety, quality, and quantity of local temporary lodging necessary to support growth and development. Business, personal, and tourist travel suffers because of it. |
 |
|
The Proposal
Permit B&Bs to be established in single family homes that are well suited for the purpose. |
 |
|
The Benefits
* There will be potential places for guests to stay overnight.
* More visitors will shop, dine, and visit local attractions if they are staying in town.
* The City receives more revenue. 3 B&Bs with 4 rooms each operating at 50% capacity could generate more lodging tax per year than the average collected over the last 5 years. | | |
