Summary
Lawrence, Kansas, thought hosting the Algerian World Cup team would spark a sales tax boom—but the numbers tell a more modest story. Sales tax rose just 5.6%, lagging behind the state’s 9% average, while towns like Salina saw bigger jumps. Year-to-date, Lawrence is even down 0.6% in traditional sales tax, though online use taxes show some gains. While not a slam dunk, the city may still benefit from national exposure and untapped revenue streams like hotel taxes—so it’s too early to call this a loss.
