The Community Redevelopment Agency’s recent decision to reallocate $3 million in Tourism Development Tax without outlining procedures that prioritize equity and transparency is a blow to citizen input and accountability.
County commissioners, in a rare check and balance, can veto this decision and acknowledge the grant’s flawed history while providing transparency in the distribution of the remaining $1.8 million in arts, culture and heritage funding.
To avoid bias and conflict of interest, the CRA must also be separated from city leadership, governed instead by citizen checks and balances.
A citizens committee, impaneled in 2018 to decide how to spend $3 million in TDT arts tourism funding, recommended fully funding proposals from LeMoyne Arts and for the preservation of Ashmore’s Drugstore as a museum and contemporary arts incubator.

A proposal to fund a performing arts facility in Railroad Square gained support Thursday from the Community Redevelopment Agency, which committed $1.8 million to the project.
The Tourist Development Tax money set to fund the TLH Arts Inc. project is expected to be paired with roughly $1.5 million in private donations the organization is seeking before it begins to bring to life a proposal at least five years in the making.
It also will revive the project which nearly lost all of its funding in February when the CRA diverted money to other projects by LeMoyne Arts and for a Frenchtown museum idea at the city-owned Ashmore’s pharmacy.
