One council member objected to a $50,000 allocation to Brooksville Main Street and urged the council to prioritize infrastructure such as lift stations, drainage and potholes. "I continue to question 50,000 in taxpayer funding for Brooksville Main Street," the member said, arguing basic needs should come first.
A different council member pushed back, listing Main Street's events and volunteers and estimating the economic value of volunteers' time. "They present 26 events for us every year... We had 257,000 unique visitors to the city," the defender said, and added that volunteer labor valued at minimum wage would be substantial. The council did not remove the funding during budget adoption.
