C. TDC FY27 Expenditure Plans for the Promotion of Tourism

May 4, 2026 City Council Meeting · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is reviewing plans for tourism promotion and improvements. The proposed expenditures include $750,000 for an advanced funding agreement, $884,922 for beachfront park operations, and $70,000 for beach access improvements. Additionally, approximately $1.2 to $1.3 million in unallocated funds are being considered for improvements at Norriego Point. This item is currently under review by the City Council. The project would involve site preparation, potential construction, and landscaping for beach access and park areas, as well as funding agreements for tourism promotion. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, concrete, paving, landscaping, and general construction could find opportunities. Suppliers of building materials and equipment may also be involved. Engaging early before final plans and permits are set could provide a competitive advantage.
