The Village of Osceola Board voted and approved completion of an application to seek funding through the Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) Competitive Tourism Grant.
According to Resolution #22-01, the EDA grant will fund travel, tourism, and outdoor recreation projects that include non-construction and construction activities. For the most part, this component is intended to fund projects that are focused on new and expanded infrastructure, projects with a multi-state or national focus, and projects in regions most adversely affected by damage to the travel, tourism, and outdoor recreation sectors from the coronavirus pandemic.
