Tourism Facility Expansion projects, which take on physical upgrades of tourist destinations, may apply for up to $10,000. Augusta County has allocated a total of $20,000 for the 2022 Program.
Eligibility Criteria
All applications will be evaluated based on their projected impact on tourism from outside the region, the degree to which they encourage off-peak travel, the strength of their marketing and promotional plan, and their overall creativity and partnerships with other Augusta County businesses. Tourism facility expansions must also demonstrate how they will enhance visitors’ experiences, increase sales, and improve our local tourist destinations.
