This <br />grant will be used to continue marketing and enhancing the presence of the Heritage Center and the Indian River Citrus <br />Museum, as well as expanding the education message. <br />Vero Heritage has a wonderful presence on social media, but it is time for a new website. The current site is about <br />seven years old and is in need of significant updates; some pages need re -writes. Although we have changed some <br />images and altered some content, nothing has been done to the backend code, the site is not as efficient as the one <br />developed today. <br />Vero Heritage will continue expanding its Vero Heritage Citrus Label Tour (the outdoor tour) to include a mobile, web <br />based map of the tour. <br />Finally, this grant also covers a portion of the salary for operations staff, including two part-time staff members who <br />work with museum guests and with those utilizing the building for community events. <br />These requests fall under Section (5)(aa)1 in which revenues may be used to extend, enlarge, remodel, repair, <br />improve, maintain, operate or promote museums that are operated by a non-profit organization open to the public. <br />Summary Keoon <br />Amount requested from Indian River County for 2022/2023: $32,000.00 <br />Total Proposed Program budget for 2022/2023: $209,150.00 <br />Percent of total Program budget: 15.3% <br />Current Funding (2021/2022) $26,000.00 <br />Dollar increase / (decrease) in request: $6,000.00 <br />Percent increase / decrease in request: 23.08% <br />EXHIBIT A <br />
