After a slight decline in sales tax deposits in February over last year, Ada saw a 1.1% increase in March 2015 deposits over 2014. In the first three months of 2015, we have seen just shy of $4 million in sales tax deposits, overall. 

Among grocery stores and supermarkets, Ada has seen explosive growth in January and February deposits over the same time period last year. Aldi opened on December 11th, 2014 and has continued to stay busy. Grocery sales tax deposits increased by 86% in January and February over 2014 deposits for the same two months. Historically, grocery collections have remained fairly consistent, averaging about $25,500/month over a two year period between Jan. 2013 and Dec. 2014. In February 2015 we saw grocery tax deposits hit $55,000. We will continue to track overall sales tax deposits and grocery specific deposits over the coming months.
