Rangely council approves $20,000 Chamber funding to boost tourism and events
Summary
The council approved a $20,000 funding request for the Rangely Chamber of Commerce to support advertising, ticket auctioning and Main Street events designed to draw visitors and support local businesses.
A Chamber of Commerce representative described planned advertising (including an Avalanche ad at Ball Arena), ticket-auction fundraising tied to local events and a summer Main Street markets program. The representative said the chamber is scaling events to align with the town's budget and described a mural and other promotional efforts.
Council members asked about marketing goals and the representative said the funding is intended to increase tourism dollars and support local businesses. The council voted to approve $20,000 for fiscal year 2026.
Why it matters: The funding aims to drive visitor spending toward local businesses through advertising and events; council supporters said modest, targeted promotion can help sustain businesses during tight fiscal conditions.
