Evansville Chamber of Commerce proposes to manage Evansville Economic Development

(Ed.note: This is a portion of the Evansville Finance Committee minutes from June.)

IV. Citizen Appearances.
a. Chamber of Commerce. Morning discussed the draft proposal they had distributed to the Committee. The Chamber of Commerce would like to partner with the City under a contract arrangement. Under the proposal, the City would pay the Chamber $20,000 to coordinate economic development and tourism efforts. They are bringing this proposal now so it could be considered as part of the budget process; they plan to present their proposal to the City Council in July.
