BROWN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – There will be more money coming to Brown County from the expired Lambeau Field sales tax.
According to a statement from Wisconsin Rep. David Steffen (R-Ashwaubenon), the Wisconsin Department of Revenue has determined than an extra $534,185 was raised by the half-percent sales tax. That money will be divided among the communities in Brown County.
The state returned over $17 million to Brown County municipalities in 2015.
Steffen says the extra money was collected through audits, penalties and interest.
“These additional returns to Brown County and its communities are significant,” Steffen said. “I have been encouraged by the strong local leadership in handling these returns and am confident this responsible leadership will continue with any additional future returns.”
Steffen says communities should get the money by the end of the week.
