Stuttgart’s Economic Development Coordinator David Leech presented his July report to the city, the Stuttgart Chamber of Commerce, Stuttgart Industrial Development Commission (SIDC), and Stuttgart Unlimited, reporting that sales tax collections were down for the first time this year and the independent living facility that has been in the works for many months is now on hold due to the cost of development.

Leech closed his report by expressing the need for support for Stuttgart’s schools, hospital, and businesses, saying “We have jobs available everywhere, we need housing, and we need our citizens to step up and clean up their property and take pride in this great town.”
