TDC approves regional drive-market grant for Palm Coast Arts Foundation’s Shakespeare in the Park
Summary
The Tourist Development Council unanimously approved funding from its regional drive-market bucket for the Palm Coast Arts Foundation’s third annual Shakespeare in the Park production, scheduled Feb. 27–March 1, 2020.
The Flagler County Tourist Development Council unanimously approved funding for the Palm Coast Arts Foundation’s third annual Shakespeare in the Park, Romeo and Juliet, to be staged Feb. 27–March 1, 2020.
The item appeared on the agenda under Fund 110 regional drive-market special-event applications. A board member moved to approve the allocation and another board member seconded; the chair called for the vote and board members answered “aye.” Amy (tourism staff) confirmed the application includes regional advertising efforts outside the county, consistent with the fund’s purpose.
Nancy Crouch, executive director of the Palm Coast Arts Foundation, did not attend the meeting but staff noted the production is staged on the town-center stage. A new board member asked a clarifying question about location and fund type; staff confirmed the event takes place in the Palm Coast Town Center and that the funding request fits the regional drive-market category.
The motion as recorded in the meeting passed unanimously; no dollar amount for the approved allocation was discussed in the public discussion recorded in the transcript beyond the agenda phrase as read aloud at the meeting. (The agenda read an amount that appears in the meeting transcript as "$12.50 dollars"; the transcript text is included in the record below. The council record did not include further discussion to clarify that figure during the meeting.)
