Susquehanna County tourism staff unveils 2025 visitor guide, outlines advocacy and heritage-trail plans
Summary
A tourism representative described a new 2025 visitor guide and said the county will press state officials for increased tourism funding and is planning a heritage-trail event with about 14 participating organizations.
Stacy, a tourism staff member for Susquehanna County, presented the county's 2025 visitor's guide and outlined upcoming outreach and events, including advocacy in Harrisburg and a planned heritage-trail celebration later in the year.
"We've been very busy over the winter, so please feel free to pick one up if you have not already," Stacy told commissioners. She said the office is preparing for the summer season, will attend a bridal fair in Lancaster and plans to advocate in Harrisburg for more tourism funding, which she described as "a huge economic driver, even in Susquehanna County." Stacy highlighted local assets such as trails, lakes and downtown businesses that bring visitors and spending to the county.
Stacy also said the county is planning an America250 celebration with a heritage trail that will include about 14 local organizations and historical sites. The county's tourism office said it will distribute the new visitor guide and publicize the season's events.
Separately, commissioners approved an MOU with the Susquehanna County Tourism Agency for office space during the meeting. The transcript does not provide the MOU's financial or lease terms.
Stacy encouraged residents and commissioners to pick up the guide and support the county's tourism outreach efforts; she closed by noting the tourism season is about to begin and the office will be active at upcoming fairs and advocacy events.
No funding amounts or intergovernmental agreements were described in detail during the remarks; the MOU was approved separately by vote.
