State Comptroller Releases January Sales Tax Numbers

Thanks to the North Country Chamber of Commerce for the information. 
January sales tax figures released by State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli again show most of our area counties performing significantly better than sales tax receipts statewide which were down 5.9% compared with January 2020.
Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton Counties were down just 2.2%, 2.1%, 2.0% and 2.8% compared to the pre-pandemic month of January 2020. This continues an area pattern of smaller declines than once anticipated last spring. The exception is Warren County whose sales tax receipts were down 7.1% in January.
