Hazen — Antonette presented the Convention and Visitors Bureau proposed 2025 budget and 2024 actuals, highlighting line items for events and a proposed SR 71 blackbird sculpture intended to help brand and draw visitors to Hazen.
"Part of our mission, obviously, is to help promote our community with events and festivals," Antonette told the council, citing prior payouts of $12,500 to events including Harvest Fest, Chalk Fest and Touch-a-Truck. The proposed budget lists $11,250 for the sculpture project and continued spending on events to support tourism and sales tax growth.
Council members asked questions, and a motion to approve the CVB budget was made, seconded and carried by roll call.
Next steps: The CVB will proceed under the adopted 2025 spending plan and staff will coordinate event support as budgeted.
