The City of Dallas is preparing for a significant economic benefit from the World Cup this summer.<\/p>\n
A City memo sent to the Dallas City Council says all evidence supports a massive economic boost but they do not have the exact figures yet. <\/p>\n
There is also possible reimbursements from the State of Texas Major Events Reimbursement Program that the City is still working to achieve.<\/p>\n
The memo says they are still counting attendance figures and will not have the exact hotel tax information for another one to two months. <\/p>\n
“Dallas will receive revenues related to FIFA World Cup activities from several sources, including the local Hotel Occupancy Tax at 7 percent, the local Brimer Bill HOT at 2 percent, Project Financing Zone revenues, Sales Tax, and facility rental agreements for FIFA events,” the memo said.<\/p>\n
The memo also states that Dallas is also participating in the federal public safety grant program which will provide funding to support Host Cities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The City of Dallas is preparing for a significant economic benefit from the World Cup this summer.
