Shall Itasca County be authorized to impose a sales and use tax of one percent to finance $75 million for the new Itasca County Criminal Justice Center, which is currently under construction in downtown Grand Rapids? The sales tax would be used solely to finance new construction and upgrades of the county’s correctional and court facilities (plus the costs to issue bonds) and remain in effect for 30 years or until project is paid for, whichever comes first.
