Overview: The Brevard County Tourism Development Council (TDC) recently deliberated over a substantial upgrade to the Veterans Memorial Park, involving the construction of an amphitheater and additional facilities, ultimately deciding to provide an additional grant of $1,228,807 to the project. The decision comes in light of the project’s increased scope and costs, now totaling $7.9 million. The council recognized the project’s capacity to honor veterans, stimulate the local economy, and attract tourists. The meeting also touched on other matters, including beach restoration efforts and the potential risks of a proposed tax bill that could impact funding for these projects.
