Impact analysis
Roughly a $163,000 net positive to the general fund annually in the baseline model.
Residents get assurance that district venues — not the general fund — cover event service costs.
If revenues fall short, hotel tax funds supporting arts, preservation, and Visit San Antonio could face pressure.
