If you're planning

to host a function at the Depot in Fayetteville in the future, it's going

to cost a bit more than it did in the past.

The Main Street

staff and board recommended that the all-day rental fee be raised from

$150 to $200, and that was approved by the City Council at its June 20

meeting. The new fee "will still be substantially lower than other

rental facilities in the area," Main Street manager Nancy Price told

the council, adding that parties who rent for an entire day often use

the facility for up to 10 hours.

The current

half-day rate of $100 will not change, and there is still a 50 percent

discount for nonprofit groups and city employees.

The council

also approved an ordinance that will levy excise fees on rental cars in

the city, with the revenue generated to promote tourism.
