PLATTSBURGH | Clinton County has reached a deal with vacation rental site Airbnb to collect taxes on all bookings for stays within the county. It’s unclear how much additional revenue the move will generate, said Clinton County Treasurer Kimberly Davis, citing the variety of sites and hosts who rent sporadically, some seasonally and others year-round. The majority of funds collected by the
county’s 3 percent occupancy tax will go towards the North Country Chamber of Commerce to promote tourism. “There isn’t any good reason why only guests staying at hotels and motels should be paying this tax,” said Davis in a statement. “Everyone who is renting out rooms is benefiting from the great job that the chamber does in promoting our area so this was the fair thing to do.” » Airbnb Cont. on pg. 2 COMING UP: The “Empty Bowls Dinner,” which benefits the Plattsburgh Interfaith Food Shelf, will be held Nov. 17 from 5-7 p.m. in Algonquin Dining Hall at SUNY Plattsburgh. In the early 1990s, high school ceramics teacher John Hartom, who wanted to call attention to the world’s hunger and poverty, challenged his students to throw 120 bowls which were then used at the first Empty Bowls program. These events are now held annually around the world. Dinner is $10 for the public and $8 for students. For more information, contact the SUNY Plattsburgh Art Department at 518-564-2197 or email art@plattsburgh.edu.
