Kansas Tourism announces the Attraction Development Grant program is open for applications.

 $400,000 is available for strategic economic assistance to public or private entities, or not-for-profit groups that are developing new or enhancing existing tourism attractions in the state. The goal of the Attraction Development Grants is to spur economic growth, develop destination-based assets, increase visitation to Kansas, enhance the visitor experience, and improve the quality of life in communities across the state.

 Grant dollars may fund up to 40 percent of a project, with the community or business funding the remaining 60 percent. Funding for Kansas Tourism grants, including the Tourism Marketing Grant, is provided by the Economic Development Initiatives Fund that is derived from state lottery proceeds.

 The link to the application is available here. The deadline for applications is March 31.
