$30,000 Marketing Grant Boosts Addison County Tourism
Earlier this year, a partnership between the Addison County Economic Development Corporation, Addison County Chamber of Commerce, Better Middlebury Partnership, Bristol CORE, and Vergennes Partnership received a $30,000 grant from the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development, Department of Tourism and Marketing for regional marketing. These funds were awarded to the State of Vermont through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). A series of seasonal 48-hour itineraries are being developed with 3 interest categories (foodies, outdoor enthusiasts, and charm seekers). Local restaurants, shops and activities will be highlighted throughout the digital campaign.

"The tourism grant provides an unprecedented opportunity to showcase Vergennes and all of Addison County to metro markets like never before." Julie Basol, Vergennes Partnership
