The City of West Melbourne Business Advisory Board is considering a pilot program for fiberglass statues, referred to as mascots, to be placed at participating businesses. The Melbourne Chamber of Commerce would coordinate with a statue manufacturer to create these statues, with designs tailored by the chamber and each business. After delivery and a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Business Advisory Board would prepare a scavenger hunt map three months later. If successful, an additional ten statues are planned for the following year. This program involves the creation and installation of custom statues, potential sealant and gloss applications for maintenance, and the development of promotional materials like maps. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as custom fabrication, art installation, painting, and printing could find opportunities by engaging early in this planned initiative before specific bids and permits are finalized.
