Over the past year one southeast Kansas community has been seeing its hard work pay off — improving its quality of life and laying the groundwork for the years ahead. “It’s going to be business as usual,” said Daron Hall, Pittsburg City Manager. The usual for Pittsburg is pretty impressive. The city has seen some big advancements over the past year. Many local businesses say its seen some of their best sales in 2021. “We’ve been very fortunate, our sales tax is up 11.5%, which is unprecedented, but it’s constantly a struggle to keep amenities and things that draw people to your community, and so when you see the sales taxes up that high, it means that people are in town, they are shopping,” said Hall.
