Requested Action

To consider the approval or denial of a Community Activation Grant Application and if approved, determine the amount of funding to be awarded.

 

Recommendation

Defer to City Council.

 

Description/History

On May 24, 2021 the City of Mansfield passed a resolution creating the Community Activation Grant Program designed to subsidize the fees associated with producing special events, live entertainment production, promotion of local artists, and other community activation efforts.

 

Justification

This event will bring traffic to Historic Downtown Mansfield and provide an inexpensive opportunity for local businesses to participate and see increased sales and revenues from the event. This event will also be part of an Official Beer Judge Certification Program Event, which is a global, volunteer-run program, bringing said designation to the district in Texas and across the nation.

 

Funding Source

 To be funded through the Community Activation Grant Program by the General Fund.
