Clarksville Votes on New Food Tax | Louisville News

Clarksville’s town council is poised to vote on a new one-percent tax on restaurant and bar food and drinks, designed to offset lost state revenue and fund essential services like roads, police, and fire. Council member Bob Stotts argues it’s a small, visitor-targeted fee that will support local businesses and maintain the town’s appeal. But residents are divided—some see it as another burden amid rising costs, fearing it could hit small businesses hardest. With inflation and gas prices already straining wallets, Clarksville residents weigh potential service improvements against extra expenses. The proposal still needs state approval to become law.
