Downtown Poulsbo, marred in the last year by several recession-induced closings, is taking a fresh breath. Several new businesses have opened or are opening; two relocated here from Winslow because of construction on Winslow Way.
Poulsbo’s share of sales tax revenue generated in the city in 2010 was $2.85 million, $73,691 more than in 2009. And city Finance Director Debbie Booher said the city is off to a promising start in 2011. While sales tax revenue was lower than in 2008, 2007 and 2006, revenue generated by business conducted here by firms located elsewhere, like construction companies, continued to outpace all previous years. That revenue was more than $1 million. The city also saw continued growth in revenue from College Marketplace.
