The Dickinson City Commission convened for its regularly scheduled meeting this week, hearing from various city entities including a presentation from the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce regarding a request for annual funding. The chamber is primarily funded by membership investments and sustained through sponsorships of community events. In years past, the City of Dickinson has supported the chamber through membership investments, sponsorships and attendance at events such as State of the City, Banquet in a Field, Southwest Night with the Legislators and candidate forums. For its current fiscal year, the chamber received $10,000 from the City of Dickinson. Now, the chamber is asking for a $15,000 subsidy for 2023.
