Coastal Conservation Association awarded $10,000 for Bluffton conservation weekend
Summary
Committee approved a $10,000 ATAX award to the Coastal Conservation Association to support a conservation‑focused weekend; applicant said last year's attendance was about 293 and the group will expand outreach.
Committee members asked the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) about attendance and advertising after the applicant said last year drew about 293 attendees. The applicant said they are improving scannable registration to better capture attendees' origin.
A committee member moved to fund the CCA's conservation weekend at the requested $10,000; that motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Members discussed how some funds from such events can flow to local chapters and the need to ensure local tourism impact.
