What's on this agenda

Hillsborough's Tourism Development Authority considers three special projects and partnership funding requests: a $10,000 rollover from fiscal year 2026 for CycleNC Mountains to Coast, $15,000 for Flushfest, and $2,500 for the Moorefields Bluegrass Festival partnership. Staff also update the board on a potential sister-city-style partnership between Hillsborough, NC and Hillsborough, Ireland, along with fund balance spend-down ideas, a vacant Occupancy Tax seat that needs filling, and a contracting and funding structure discussion planned for a future meeting.

The authority also reviews its monthly occupancy tax report.
