Petersburg Borough reported Thursday that sales tax collections increased by $26,000 in January and $22,000 in February compared to the prior year, two months after removing the senior citizen sales tax exemption, though the full revenue impact remains unclear as some purchases may now use the general $1,200 cap exemption.
