What types of projects could be funded by the TDF?

The goal is to "kick start" private investment that will bring new and exciting projects to our destination. It is impossible to know just yet what specific projects might be submitted for consideration, but this is a list of some types of things we would expect:

  • Business improvement grants (through Economic Development Administration (EDA))
  • Convention and group meeting facilities
  • Culinary arts incubators
  • Historic and cultural sites
  • Outdoor and Indoor recreation facilities and amenities
  • Public art and place-making
  • Public parks (community or regional)
  • Regional trails and connectors
  • Streetscape renovations and enhancements
  • Tourism venues
  • Transit improvements (bike share, pedestrian access, enhanced bus shelters)
  • Visitor infrastructure
  • Other projects that meet award considerations, demonstrate feasibility and receive a recommendation
