Montana tourism grants send $8.75 million to seven groups

The Montana Department of Commerce announced today that seven projects will each receive $1.25 million in funding through Commerce’s Montana Tourism Development Grant Program. These projects will be eligible for up to $2.75 million over the life of the grant.

“Developing tourism in a sustainable and manageable manner boosts Montana’s rural and under-visited communities by diversifying local economies, fostering community pride and creating tourism destinations that represent the qualities that make rural communities special,” said Commerce Director Marta Bertoglio.
