The 2025 Clinton County Tourism Matching Grant Program is a joint initiative by the Clinton County Visitors Bureau and County Commissioners to enhance local tourism and attract visitors from outside the region. Funded by a portion of the county’s lodging tax, the program aims to increase overnight stays, boost economic impact, and support job creation within Clinton County, Pennsylvania. The grants are available to non-profits, for-profit entities, and government agencies focused on tourism promotion, development, and visitor attraction.
Eligible projects include marketing campaigns, product development for tourism attractions, special events such as festivals or exhibits, and improvements to existing attractions. All funded projects must demonstrate a clear strategy for driving overnight stays and spending, contributing to the county’s tourism and hospitality sector's growth.
Applications are evaluated on creativity, understanding of current tourism trends, and a detailed plan to maximize tourism impact. Priority is given to initiatives with clear potential to attract visitors and enhance the overall experience in Clinton County. The grant requires adherence to specific guidelines, including submission of a Grant Completion Report with receipts and following reimbursement procedures.
