GRANT APPLICATION FOR CAPITAL FUNDS

Purpose:
Alachua County has established the Tourism Product Development Capital Construction fund for the express purpose of providing funding to local public or not-for-profit organizations that require funding to build, renovate, enhance, expand and/or repair a facility that is directly targeted to growing the tourism economy in Alachua County. It is the intent of Alachua County to fund the capital construction renovation or repair of qualifying projects and to NOT have any responsibility for the further operations or maintenance costs using tourist tax revenues.
Vision Statement
“Located in North Central Florida, Gainesville/Alachua County is a unique family friendly, university community, well known for its exciting blend of cultural, historic and natural attractions as well as fine arts and sporting events. Home of the University of Florida “Gators”, the area draws business and convention travelers from throughout the world to state-of-the-art research, medical and conference facilities. Careful preservation and use of natural and man made resources draw leisure visitors to enjoy the County’s unique eco-systems. Tourism is an important contributor to economic development in Gainesville/Alachua County and is woven into the fabric of the community in a way that enhances the residents’ quality of life and the long-term viability of the community’s cherished natural resources.”
Program Details:
