Travel and Tourism Board to pursue grant, entrance improvements using lodging tax funds
Summary
The Travel and Tourism Board recommended the council let the board vet a grant application, spend lodging-tax revenue on a town entrance project and create a reserve for partnership opportunities; the council informally agreed to let the board proceed with the grant process.
Mr. Bell, chairman of the Travel and Tourism Board, told the Town Council on Jan. 14 that the board recommends using the lodging-tax revenue approved in November to support a grant application the board has developed, to fund improvements to the town entrance and to establish a reserve for future partnership opportunities.
Council members signaled informal agreement and allowed the board to proceed with vetting the grant application and presenting a final item for council approval later. Mr. Bell also noted the Travel and Tourism Board currently has a vacancy and said the board will continue to coordinate with staff on budget and planning.
The council did not vote on a specific appropriation at the work session; the board will return with a formal proposal for council action when vetting is complete.
