COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Greater Columbus Economic Development Corp. (EDC) is proposing less travel and slightly lower fees in its 2021 contract with the city of Columbus.
The city has approved a fee-for-service agreement with the EDC, which city Director of Finance, Operations and Risk Jamie Brinegar said is basically a renewal of what has been approved with the EDC in the past.
The only difference is that EDC has lowered its fee-for-service fee from $125,000 to $110,000 as a result of “reduced travel” due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“They are still marketing the area, continuing to participate electronically in as many activities as they can,” Brinegar said. “We still feel very strongly that this is a great agreement for us to stay a part of.”
