Fleurs de Villes "Gilded Age" Exhibition and Greystone Fee Waivers
Summary
The city is being asked to waive roughly $212,641 in rental and staff costs to host an exclusive eight-day floral exhibition tied to HBO's The Gilded Age, in exchange for 20% of net ticket sales (estimated $67,200–$112,000). Councilmembers want firmer cost figures, resident discounts, and protection against the city eating unexpected costs — especially with Olympics-related negotiations pending for Greystone.

Impact analysis
Waivers of $212,641 requested; projected city revenue share of $67,200–$112,000 from ticket sales plus potential donations, sponsor offsets and parking fees.
Local florists, printers, hotels, restaurants and the visitor economy, plus Greystone restoration funding.
Taxpayers could be left covering costs if sponsorship and ticket revenue fall short, and Greystone neighbors face event traffic.
