               Hurst is considered a major retail-commercial     $20
               center of the northeast Tarrant County area.
               North East Mall and a number of quality
               shopping centers throughout the City provide
               residents with a wide  variety of goods and       $19
               services from which to choose.   A major
               expansion  of North  East Mall and new
               development adjacent to the mall, Shops at
               North East Mall, was completed approximately      $18
               eleven years ago.   The graph to the right
               displays    the   impact    of   this   major
               development/redevelopment effort.  The  City
               only budgets approximately 92% of estimated       $17
               sales tax earnings so sales tax losses related
               to   economic     conditions   are   managed
               proactively.  The City collects 2% of sales and
               use receipts from businesses within the City.  A   $16
               total of  $20,282,889  was collected for fiscal
               year 2018-2019, a .6% increase over
               collections  in fiscal year 2014-2015.  The
               decrease was the financial impact of COVID-       $15  2014‐2015 2015‐2016 2016‐2017 2017‐2018 2018‐2019 2019‐2020
