Tourist Development Council Meeting · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The USA Lacrosse WCLA National Championships are planned for May 2026 at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex. This event is expected to bring over 500 college athletes and 600 daily spectators, with an estimated economic impact of at least $389,000. The Tourist Development Council is considering using up to $10,000 in promotion funds to support this event. The event is in the planning stages, with the Tourist Development Council recommending approval of the funds. This project would involve the rental of fields at the sports complex and promotion activities. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as event services, sports facility management, and marketing could find opportunities by engaging early before final plans and permits are set.
