County approves $850 monthly increase to Elkins-Randolph County Tourism CVB funding
Summary
The commission approved a request to increase monthly funding to the Elkins-Randolph County Tourism Convention and Visitor Bureau by $850 to help pay a new manager, raising the county contribution to $2,100 per month from the Hotel/Motel line.
The Randolph County Commission approved an additional $850 per month to the Elkins-Randolph County Tourism Convention and Visitor Bureau to assist with salary costs for a new manager, bringing the county’s monthly contribution to $2,100. Commissioner David Kesling said he had been approached by Anne Beardslee, Executive Director of the CVB, about the request.
Commissioner Chris Siler moved to approve the funding increase; the motion passed unanimously. Kesling said the funding will come from the county’s Hotel/Motel line. The commission did not specify a sunset date or require additional reporting tied to the extra funds during the meeting.
The additional allocation is intended to support local tourism staffing but will increase the county’s recurring commitment; the commission did not hold a separate public hearing on this request at the May 28 meeting.
