OTTAWA COUNTY - The Ottawa County Visitors Bureau announced its 2016 Tourism Marketing Grant program.

Businesses and non-profits looking to generate more "Lake Erie Love" can apply for the 2016 Tourism Marketing Grant through the Ottawa County Visitors Bureau.

The program is available for new and existing community friendly events that take place in Ottawa County. It is designed to assist non-profit organizations and small businesses in promoting events that generate overnight stays, create media exposure, increase area economic impact and generate awareness that Lake Erie Shores & Islands is a year-round destination.

The primary mission of the Visitors Bureau is to encourage economic development in Ottawa County through promotion of tourism for business, pleasure and enrichment. Organizations that hold events that fit within this mission are encouraged to take advantage of the availability of the grant funds.

Applications must be submitted at least 90 days prior to the event date. A grant form and information are available by contacting Larry Fletcher at 419-734-4386, ext. 223 or larry@shoresandislands.com
