From RTD:

A years-long tax dispute between the city of Richmond and Hardywood Park Craft Brewery was officially settled Monday night when City Council approved a deal that essentially wipes out a $61,118 bill the city had been trying to collect.

The RTD has a piece about about the City’s ongoing efforts to collect $50,000 in unpaid meals tax from Hardywood…tax the brewery was originally told they did not need to collect or pay. This is an old issue, and one that I figured had been settled by now. Hardywood’s attorney cuts to the quick, saying it’s just “the latest in a series of procedural deficiencies, inconsistent messaging and apparent lack of sincere interest” from the City.
