County advised to convene MUST task force; consultants cite Oct/Nov deadlines and estimated fees

Aug 6, 2026

Consultants urged Pulaski County to convene a municipal unit strategic task force (MUST) to study LIT options; they said a MUST report is due to the state finance office by Nov. 2 and that convening and scenario work typically costs about $30k–$35k.

The full story

Consultants described the MUST (municipal unit strategic task force) as a county‑level representative group — county council members, town treasurers and municipal representatives — charged with evaluating whether the new LIT structure will work locally and with preparing a formal report for the state. They said the report is due to the Department of Local Government Finance by November 2, and that scores from participating counties are expected to be compiled by December 1.
