Explore Newnan-Coweta (ENCI), the destination marketing organization for Coweta County, is announcing the second round of the reimbursement grant program for 2024. This grant assists local partners with marketing, projects, product development or events exhibiting positive tourism potential for the Coweta County area.
This grant round will concentrate on projects from July to December, 2024.
Applicants can apply for up to $5,000 for various project types including, but not limited to, event promotion, marketing, websites or creation of a visitor experience.
The goal of these funds is to attract new visitors to Coweta County and therefore stimulate an increase in hotel/motel occupancy, expenditures by visitors to Coweta County, and to promote a positive image and increased visibility of the county’s assets. Applicants will be scored based on the Grant Rubric which you can find HERE.
An investment in tourism provides a trickle-down effect for the community: a stronger, more diverse economy, an influx of substantial revenue, increased sales tax collection, lower taxes and an improved quality of life for Coweta County residents who partake in restaurants and retail operations, cultural and recreational attractions, and entertainment options that are supported and sustained through visitor spending. For questions, please email us at info@explorenewnancoweta.com.
