Commission approves letter of support for tourism photography project
Summary
The commission voted to sign a letter of support for a tourism photography grant/project tied to downtown master planning and byway promotion; staff said the effort could help marketing and economic activity along scenic routes.
A county presenter asked the board to sign a letter of support for a proposed tourism photography project intended to provide imagery for marketing and downtown revitalization. The presenter said Montana Main Street and a technical assistance program would help carry the downtown master-plan work, and highlighted research suggesting scenic byways can generate local economic activity.
A commissioner moved to sign the letter of support, another seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Commissioners said such projects can help small-town marketing and suggested coordination with city planners and partner towns along proposed scenic routes.
The board asked staff to transmit the signed letter to project organizers and to coordinate follow-up on grant applications and planning roles.
