VIGO COUNTY, Ind.  – Governor Eric Holcomb has officially signed the 1% food and beverage tax for Vigo County.

Now it’s up to the County Council to approve it.

If passed the $10 restaurant bill would be 10 cents more.

The money generated from the tax would be used to build and operate a new convention center in Terre Haute.

28 counties in the state already have this tax.

State Senator Jon Ford expects this tax to generate about $2 million each year.
