MEDC board approves FY26-27 budget, adds project-manager position request
Summary
The MEDC board approved the FY26-27 budget after staff recommended it, using a 2.5% sales-tax growth baseline for planning and requesting a new project manager role to focus on international attraction efforts.
Board leadership presented the FY26-27 MEDC budget and described assumptions and staffing needs; staff recommended approval. Leadership said the plan uses a 2.5% increase in sales-tax revenue as the baseline for budgeting, though Chance Miller noted that number could change before city council adoption.
The board discussed the request for a new project manager position, described as working at the same level as the existing attraction staff position held by Paula Dade, to expand focus on international attraction. Thad Hoesley moved to approve the budget as presented; the motion passed on the board vote.
