Detroit’s sports and entertainment scene is booming — but who really benefits?
As suburban and out-of-town fans enjoy taxpayer-funded stadiums and entertainment venues, Detroit residents continue to shoulder many of the city’s costs. The Citizens Research Council invites Detroiters to explore how a local admissions (entertainment) tax could help ensure that visitors who benefit from Detroit’s resurgence also contribute their fair share — generating meaningful new revenue for city services and property tax relief.

Join us for a dynamic evening of policy and conversation, featuring Research Council President Eric Lupher presenting findings from Evaluating Local-Option Admissions Taxes in Michigan Cities, followed by discussion on how fiscal tools like this can shift Detroit’s growth toward neighborhoods and equitable reinvestment.
