The Commission on Cultural Development's mission is to promote the development of Bangor as a
regional arts center that nurtures the artistic and cultural expression of its diverse peoples. The
Commission has been authorized by the City Council to review applications to the City for funding from
arts and cultural organizations and to recommend a course of action to the City Council for their review
and consideration.
The Downtown Bangor Partnership submitted an application for $2,000 to fund performances and
audio/visual assistance for entertainment to be located at City Hall during the New Year's Eve celebration
called Downtown Countdown.
The Commission noted that the biggest strength of this program is that it provides a wide variety of free

venues throughout downtown.
The Commission for Cultural Development recommends that the City Council approve a grant of$2,000.
(NOTE: The appropriation for arts and cultural will have $47,950 remaining available, if this grant is approved.)
