$250,000 given for planned Stafford museum; public fundraiser planned

STAFFORD -- Fourteen years ago the Board of Supervisors set aside two percent of the Transient Occupancy Tax to help finance a Stafford County Museum and Cultural Center. While the tax was diverted to the General Fund in 2010, nearly one million dollars remain for the museum to use. 

Now the Museum Foundation, which separated from the county government and became a 501C-(3) in 2010, has requested and received $250,000 of it’s reserved funds after Board approval. 

“That number is something we felt would allow us to engage multiple consultants at one time, but would also be enough that we wouldn’t have to be running back to you every couple of months and asking for additional money,” said Scott Mayausky, president of the Stafford Museum and Cultural Center.
