Tourism grant application period open

Indianapolis, In. — Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch and the Department of Tourism Development are accepting applications for the Destination Development Grant program.

“As destinations come to embrace tourism and its virtues more and more, they need resources to build new amenities and bolster existing ones,” said Mark Newman, IOTD Executive Director. “The beauty of this Destination Development Grant program is that the big ideas it seeks typically benefit both the visitors and residents alike.”

Indiana cities, towns, counties and non-profit entities involved with tourism development and promotion are encouraged to apply. Proposed projects should target amenities, attractions and facilities that enhance the visitor experience.

From now until December 1, 2017 applications for projects valued between $50,000 and $250,000 will be accepted. Awards will be announced in March of 2018.
