THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Shelby is authorizing FY 2026-2027 disbursement of occupancy-tax-funded travel and tourism grants totaling around $270,000 to local organizations such as the Earl Scruggs Center, Don Gibson Theatre, American Legion World Series, and others. Funds support marketing, events, visitor services, and a turf project, with each grantee required to report back on use of funds. Event organizers and venues now have budgeted funding, creating downstream needs for marketing services, production, turf installation, and visitor experience improvements.
Resolution specifies award amounts to nine organizations, with American Legion World Series receiving $135,450 including a turf project component.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Shelby issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Shelby's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
