CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The City of Corpus Christi released their sales tax revenue numbers for the first two months of the City's fiscal year.
The months of October and November brought the City over $10 million in sales tax revenue. That's $259,000 dollars more than the City originally estimated -- a 2.4-percent increase.
City officials spoke with 3News and said they were encouraged by the latest sales tax figures, which seem to indicate that our economy is doing better than forecasted.
City Councilmember Mike Pusley was excited about the numbers and what they could mean for the economy as a whole.
"The numbers are great," Pusley said. "Anytime you get numbers better than you projected, that's always a good thing."
Pusley believes that as the community transitions out of the pandemic, the numbers will only continue to grow.
