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.
