Tourist Development Council · 2026-09-24 · agenda_item

The Tourist Development Council of Marion County is reviewing a request for $10,000 in funding to support the WEC Winter Series Week 4 - National Show & FEI, a room night generating event. This item is currently pending review by the council, meaning the funding decision has not yet been made. If approved, the funding would support the event, which is expected to generate room nights in the local hospitality sector. This would set in motion work for event planning, marketing, and hospitality services to accommodate visitors. The scope of work would involve coordinating lodging, event logistics, and promotional activities. Local businesses in the hospitality, event planning, and marketing industries could benefit from the increased tourism. Reaching out early to the council and event organizers could position your business to compete for related contracts and services.
