Commission approves tourism development plan amendments and COCA transition to advisory model

Leon County Commission · September 16, 2026

Summary

The commission approved amendments to the tourism development plan to revise oversight of cultural and tourism grants and to transition administration of certain programs to a service/advisory model with continued annual commitment to COCA.

County staff presented an ordinance amending the Leon County tourism development plan (chapter 11) and a second amendment to the FY21–26 agreement with the Council on Culture & Arts (COCA) to facilitate a transition to a service and advisory model for cultural and tourism grant administration. Staff said the changes update programmatic functions and authorize a new tourism incentive program tied to prior board direction.

Commissioners moved and seconded staff recommendations and approved the amendments unanimously. Staff said the action reflects earlier board direction and will provide revised administration and oversight for the county's cultural and tourism grant programs while preserving continued county support for COCA.
