- Capital Project grants requests must enhance the visitor’s experience by developing new or enhancing existing Washington County tourist attractions or amenities. A variety of eligible tourism-related projects include restoration or acquisition of historic or cultural exhibits, on-site signage, and physical improvement of a tourism facility. The applicant must own or have a long-term lease/easement for the property.
Eligibility Criteria
Grants will be considered for any eligible tourism-related entity located within Washington County that submits the accompanying application for funds to promote tourism. For-profit entities may apply for grant funding for targeted marketing programs which promote a specific event or unique activity. For-profit requests for general marketing support are beyond the scope of this grant and do not qualify.
