For the second year, the Park County Travel Council is ready to hand out big grants to encourage the tourism industry.
The Council gets its money from a 4% lodging tax, which the state mandates be used for tourism-related activities only.
Last year, grants were awarded to Sleeping Giant Ski Area for road maintenance and a tubing park, the Town of Meeteetse for a revitalization project, That Other Project for pit toilets at Outlaw Trailhead, Fist Full of Dirt for various enhancements, Project Elevate for signage and flagging, Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation for restoration of its root cellar and the City of Powell for the Bean Mill Mural.
This year, the program will award grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000. Applications must be submitted to the Detination Development Committee and will be pre-approved or denied by July 25th.
Initial applications will be reviewed by the Destination Development Committee comprised of Hauck and four members of the PCTC Board of Directors. Successful applications will be pre-approved or denied by July 25. In-person presentations to the complete Board of Directors of the Park County Travel Council will take place August 15, and grants will be awarded within 30 days of the presentations.
