6. Festival Fund and Public Art Initiative
As part of the significant percentage on costs identified in the
costing plan, we suggest two important additions: 2% of all investment
to be spent of Public Art initiatives integrated into the built
environment and focusing on Scarborough as the City of Light, and 2%to
be spent on the Scarborough Festival Fund. This can provide the basis
for the vision of Scarborough as a festival town and provide the
foundation stone for an ongoing Trust. The first festival that should
be implemented is the Flower Festival, coinciding with the beginning of
Renaissance construction and the opening of the blooming belvederes.
These percentages are included in the above project estimates.

± £40.74 million
