Town officials estimate the tax increase would generate roughly $1.2 million per year and would make the town's tax structure more progressive, with larger businesses paying a higher tax rate.

Local business owners and business groups have expressed theoretical support for the measure, but warned against penalizing businesses for their success, particularly the town's largest businesses including Netflix.
