Top issues during term (13)(Business Jobs)
Economic Development Partner Agreements
About $135,000 from this year's budget supports the four partner organizations.
Gateway Airport Landing Fee Increase
The fee increase supports the airport's roughly $735,000 match on federal grants, including $500,000 for the air traffic control tower.
Stalled Hyatt Hotel Project at Gateway Airport
A stalled hotel project delays lease payments and investment obligations to the city; specifics were not quantified.
Food Truck Regulations vs. Brick-and-Mortar Businesses
Rules could affect livelihoods of food truck owners and competition for brick-and-mortar restaurants.
Azure Hotel and Convention Center Incentive
$1.5 million in CRA funds committed, paid only as reimbursement after the hotel is completed.
Kissimmee Gateway Airport control tower funded
$10 million federal commitment covers about half the project; the city is pursuing the balance.
Downtown revitalization through the CRA incentive program
TIF allocations of $5.2 million (Downtown) and $4.8 million (Vine Street) drive the two budgets.
Kissimmee Gateway Airport expansion agreements
Federal grant funding will support the new air traffic control tower; costs of the Customs facility remain conceptual.
Downtown noise and food trucks
Downtown restaurants reportedly lost most of a normal Saturday's revenue during the event, which was funded by CRA tax dollars.
Indoor field house / sports tourism project
A public-private partnership could offset city costs, and hotel room-night revenue sharing could generate profit without a tourist development tax.
Business Tax Receipt application delays
High fees and code requirements are pushing away small redevelopment projects like the proposed daycare.
Home-based business licensing and signage rules
Home business owners pay $35 for a license plus $55 annually to operate from their own property.
Downtown Restaurant Incentive at 30 Broadway
