Title
HLC#23-002: Discussion and Possible Action on a Historic Downtown Mansfield Community Activation Grant Application for Historic Preservation Month 2023 Activities
Description/History
As proposed by the Preservation Month Sub-Committee, the Historic Landmark Commission will be sponsoring three main events for Historic Preservation Month 2023. These events include a car show, a chalk art contest, and a downtown scavenger hunt.
These events will have associated costs for prizes, entertainment and supplies. Estimates for the expenses for each event have been attached. The Commission’s budget does not have sufficient funds to cover the costs of these expenses.
If packaged as a Historic Preservation Month program, these events may be eligible for a Historic Downtown Mansfield Community Activation Grant from the City Council. The Activation Grant is intended for events or activities that draw visitors to the downtown area and promote commercial engagement with downtown merchants. The Commission’s events may qualify as community events under the Art Shows or Events, Car Shows, and Community Education Events categories.
Staff will review the estimates and the application criteria with the Commission at the meeting.
