The Citrus County Board is reviewing financial reports for the Visitor & Convention Bureau funds. This review covers financial statements and revenue/expenditure reports for periods ending in May and June 2026.

This item is currently under review as part of regular financial reporting. The scope of work involves ongoing financial management, accounting, and reporting services. Future opportunities may arise from the allocation of funds for special projects, land acquisition, or capital improvements as detailed in the expenditure reports.
