N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Jamestown Tourism is offering grants to area nonprofits for projects that will grow or enhance visitor experiences and increase the impact of tourism in the local economy.

“The 2017 Visitor’s Promotion Capital Construction Fund’s purpose is to create economic benefits including overnight stays, create facilities that do not exist in the area and/or create experiences that enhance the time visitors spend in Jamestown,” the group says in a release.

Funds will be used for building new visitor attractions, expansions, creating new experiences or supporting services for visitors. They will not be used for marketing or ongoing operating expenses.

Grants will be distributed twice per year and applications will be due for the fall process by October 2nd. Agencies will be awarded funding one year after the announcement to use these funds. Applications for the spring process will be due March 1st.
