Summary
McCracken County Fiscal Court approved distribution of August 2025 transient room tax receipts totaling $395,230.68 among local tourism and cultural funds, listing amounts for the Convention & Visitors Bureau, convention center, tourism commission and arts fund.
The McCracken County Fiscal Court approved the distribution of August 2025 transient room tax receipts totaling $395,230.68 at its Sept. 8 meeting. The court's order itemized allocations as follows: $115,143.33 to the Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB); $78,665.99 to the convention center; $120,873.12 to the tourism commission; and $80,578.24 to the arts fund.
Why it matters: Transient room tax allocations fund tourism promotion, convention-center operations and cultural programs; the court's approval authorizes the treasurer to disburse the specified amounts.
Court members approved the distribution by voice vote; the meeting transcript records the amounts and that the motion "carries." No additional programmatic detail or line-item budgets were read into the record during the motion.
