Flagler’s Tourism Council Agrees to Continuing Shift of Bed Tax Dollars to Cash-Strapped Beach Management

Flagler County’s Tourist Development Council unanimously approved the County Commission’s request to continue redirecting tourist tax revenue from capital projects to beach management, in essence preventing new tourism-related capital projects from being funded for now. The county lacks a permanent funding plan for ongoing dune reconstruction and renourishment, making tourism-tax revenue essential for grant-matching in beach projects.
