Pendleton announces New Hospitality Grant Program

The Town of Pendleton is now accepting grant applications from non-profit or government agencies for 2013/14 funding of projects that enhance tourism in Pendleton.  The program will provide grants to events, activities, programs and capital investments that are sustainable and support and enhance the Town’s tourism infrastructure, as well as enhance the positive image of Pendleton as a destination.  The range for grants this fiscal year is $500 to $1,500.   The Town is fortunate that because of a strong hospitality business climate and prudent budgeting, it is now able to give back to the community to assure future success and destination growth.  Grant applications are due by 2pm on September 3, 2013.  Application packets are available online at www.townofpendleton.org and at the Pendleton Town Hall, which is located at 310 Greenville Street.  Award announcements will be made at the November 4, 2013 Town Council Meeting.
