During the public‑comment period a resident identified as Sebastian urged the Tourism Development Council to better include Black community events and local facilities in the TDC’s work. Sebastian said he reviewed promotional materials and found a lack of Black cultural events such as Juneteenth and remarked that nearby fields and community‑run facilities appear overlooked for funding or promotion.
He asked the council to ‘‘not write those places off’’ and to come to underserved neighborhoods to explore repurposing and support options. Sebastian framed his remarks around inclusion and equitable distribution of resources, and suggested greater outreach to communities that already host activities but receive limited TDC support.
The board acknowledged the comment during the meeting’s public‑comment period; there was no formal action recorded in response during this meeting. Staff and members later reiterated efforts to populate the events calendar and encouraged community partners to submit events for posting.
