Community Rowing and Paddling Proposal

  • Vero Beach receives a substantial Economic Benefit from those who are associated with IRRC activities. They buy fuel, hardware, food, supplies to support their programs. Those visiting from out of town generate hotel stays and restaurant visits, all of which generate tax revenue for the District. A very conservative dollar estimate is $600,000 per year. Not reflected in that number, are the number of IRRC members who have purchased or rented homes in the area.

     

    • Design and build a signature structure for the community.
    • Promotion of environmentally Friendly water sports.
    • Programs for the youth of Indian River County.
    • Programs for the physically and economically disadvantaged.
    • Programs for residents and businesses.
    • In combination with Dodger Town, promote tourism for visiting teams from the north.
    • Capital budget plan to be primarily funded from private sources.
    • A sustainable operating plan based on proven models from other communities.
