Tourist Development Tax Citizens Advisory Task Force Meeting
The committee discussed a proposal to replenish the application review committee grant program with an investment of $75 million to $100 million to support medium-sized capital projects. The presentation outlined the grant eligibility, the scoring matrix based on tourism expansion and return on investment, and the approval roles of the Tourist Development Council and the Board of County Commissioners. The discussion also included an review of the successful outcomes and community impacts of past grants awarded to organizations such as the Orlando Ballet, the Orlando Science Center, and the Winter Park Playhouse.
