2) Recommend approval to Council of a Chamber statue/mascot pilot program

Business Advisory Board · 2026-04-27 · agenda_item

The City of West Melbourne is considering a pilot program for ten mascot statues. These statues, modeled after the great blue heron in the City's logo, would be offered to businesses and organizations for customization. The program is currently under review by the Business Advisory Board, with a recommendation to be made to the City Council. If approved, the pilot program would run for one year to assess public interest and potential challenges. This initiative could involve site preparation for statue placement, customization work by local artists or fabricators, and potentially landscaping around the statues. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as art installation, fabrication, customization, and site work may find opportunities. Engaging early could provide an advantage as the program details and specific business participation are still being determined.
