Legislative Support
Legislative Support
As the international expert in Tourism Improvement Districts, Civitas strives to support Destination Management Organizations, Hotel and Lodging Associations, Chambers of Commerce, Downtown and Main Street Organizations, and Property and Business Owners with opportunities to create a funding solution to meet the needs of stakeholders. In many states, legislative support is needed to reach the funding goals of organizations and stakeholders.
Our legislative support projects include a policy analysis of existing legislation, discussion with stakeholders on critical policy discussions, drafting of revision language, review of proposed amendments, response to legislative objections, and professional support through all educational, public relations, and legislative committee/hearing testimonies.
When public resources are scarce, proposing a funding model plan that does not require public funds, private investment from an assessment can pave the way for an expedited recovery, additional business demand, and increased jobs.
