SUMMARY:Town of Hillsborough: Tourism Board Special Meeting (rescheduled and combined August/September meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Tourism Board\n\nThe Tourism Board hears final-year reports from the four organizations it funds by contract — the Burwell School\, the Hillsborough Arts Council\, the Orange County Museum\, and the Alliance that runs the visitors center — and then takes up how that funding is structured.\n\nThe funding item is the one with consequences. The board is revisiting the mix of grants\, contract partners\, and one-off sponsorships\, and staff note the Tourism Development Authority may revisit its own structure alongside. Also on the agenda: whether October's meeting has to move\, because the CycleNC event falls on the 5th.\n\nAgenda: https://mccmeetings.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/hillsbronc-pubu/MEET-Agenda-ce8f46ccd3f74625bf423eed21b073a0.pdf\nWatch: https://hillsborough-nc.municodemeetings.com/\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1780

The larger item is a request to extensively deconstruct the existing Link Building at 200 S.
