Taxable sales up in Jamestown

If taxable sales and purchases are any indication, Jamestown appears to be economically sound on almost all fronts, says North Dakota’s top ranking tax official. The first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009 shows an 8.54 percent increase for the Buffalo City in 10 reportable categories. The biggest boon here is in manufacturing, which increased to more than $2 million for the first quarter in 2010 compared to $1,455,507 in 2009.
