Through Washington’s Main Street B&O Tax Credit Incentive Program, you can redirect a portion of your state B&O or public utility taxes to directly support Experience Chehalis—our local Main Street program working to grow and beautify our community. Instead of sending 100% of your taxes to Olympia, you can choose to keep 75% local by making a contribution to our Main Street program.
Here’s the best part: You’ll receive a 75% tax credit from the Department of Revenue, which means your generous support costs you just 25 cents on the dollar—and makes a big difference right here at home. Funds support local business support, beautification projects, community events, and historic preservation efforts that make our downtown vibrant, welcoming and prosperous.
It’s easy, impactful, and a smart way to invest in the place where you do business. Pledge by November 15th each year to reserve your tax credit for the year. Let’s build something great—together!
