Richard,

I haven't seen any information on cities that contribute to the Chamber of Commerce, however, according to their 2010 budget, Kissimee provides about $2100 to their Main Street Program in either city services or fee waivers.

I hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that the Kissimee's contributions have declined over the past few years.

1. The City of Orlando does not contribute to the Chamber.

2. Orlando provides funds to Main Street districts via contract.
   a- $215,000 in fiscal year ending 2010.
   b- Contracts are general in nature; they do not specify specific expenses.
   c- Since 2007
   d- The yearly budgeted amount depends on how many districts are in the program, and how many years they have received funding. It is a sliding scale starting with $50k in year one, and ending with $30k in year five. There are currently five districts with contracts.

Thank you Chase & Mark - these are very helpful. I've managed to get a large amount of information from the City Clerks from around the State and directly. Most support is totally dependent on the budget...but that is what it all boils down to, right?

Richard
We are having great success with Chamber activity as well as Rotary and other UN NGOs around the State of Florida and the southern states as to the implimentation of Agenda 21 through comprehensive development plans in trade for huge grant funding.
love to talk to you about what we can do together
