Default Who pays for the entertainment in the Village squares
We all pay for part of the entertainment in the squares indirectly. Sumter County contributes tens of thousands of dollars every year through our taxes. The county put up $120,000 a year in tourist taxes collected primarily off hotel stays in 2020. The grant was increased in 2021 by $40,000. The developer pays the other half. This covered Lake Sumter and Brownwood Squares . Spanish Springs is in Lake County .
