Financials
The LEC operates on an annual budget of approximately $5.5 million, with revenue generated from event rentals, concessions, and sponsorships. LEC is an enterprise fund and must generate revenue independently, without assistance from the General Fund.
The LEC is also supported by Lane County's Transient Lodging Tax (TLT). Collected from hotels and short-term rentals, the tax helps support tourism-related facilities and services.
The LEC is operated by Lane County Public Works. Find more information at laneeventscenter.org.
