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