ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Orange County is calling on community organizations to submit applications for Tourist Development Tax (TDT) funding. Meanwhile, Mayor Jerry L. Demings is reinstating the TDT Citizen Advisory Task Force to help determine the allocation of unspent funds.
Applications are open now through July 16.
Supported by booming tourism and record TDT collections, the funding funds projects that boost the county’s appeal—covering sports, entertainment, cultural sites, and environmental upgrades. “These funds support infrastructure investments that expand tourism while creating jobs for our residents,” Demings said.
Public meetings begin July 21, with additional sessions scheduled through early August.
Eligible projects must align with Florida law and focus on publicly accessible tourism-related assets, including convention centers, museums, parks, and promotional initiatives.
