JOHNSTOWN The Fulton County Board of Supervisors on Monday authorized county expenditures for area tourism.
Board action came during the monthly session, which was live streamed via Zoom to the public.
“Maybe we can be in person for our March meeting,” said county Administrative Officer Jon Stead. “That’s certainly our goal.”
The board passed a resolution directing County Treasurer Terry Blodgett to remit $61,807 in a county matching funds allocation for the 2021 “I Love NY” Tourism Grant to the Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce. The allocation is effective immediately. The chamber received notification from the state it may not allocate 2021 tourism funds, so the chamber is counting on the county share to promote local tourism.
