CVB board reallocates $60,000 to Apple Harvest Festival and Miss West Virginia events
Summary
The Martinsburg–Berkeley County CVB board voted June 24 to allocate $60,000 from budget lines—$30,000 each—to the Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival and the Miss West Virginia Organization, removing the items from the Tourism Advancement Grant process and requiring final event reports.
The Martinsburg–Berkeley County Convention and Visitors Bureau Board voted June 24 to allocate $60,000 from CVB budget line items, splitting $30,000 for the Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival and $30,000 for the Miss West Virginia Organization.
Mark Eisinger, a board member, moved to use existing budget lines so the two organizations would not have to submit through the regular grant process; the motion was seconded by Chanda Williams-Doles and carried by a unanimous vote. The board required that each recipient provide final post-event reports. The board also voted to deactivate the Tourism Advancement Grant and remove it from the CVB website as part of the motion.
