The city of Bryan’s tourism office is getting another tool.
That is after the city council approved during its meeting on February 22, the purchase of a 32 foot long portable stage.
Before the unanimous vote, was a discussion about renting the stage. Mayor Bobby Gutierrez says the Destination Bryan tourism agency is going to be using the mobile stage a lot.
Deputy city manager Hugh Walker added that the fully equipped and trailer mounted stage would be operated by city employees.
The cost of the stage that was approved is $263,000 dollars. That means to spending up to $78,000 in reserves to go with the $185,000 that was previously budgeted.
