Pilot Tourism Community Grant

11/15/2024

"The Pilot Community Tourism Grant Program (“PCTGP”) is a state-funded opportunity authorized by the 2023 Montana Legislature’s enactment of Senate Bill 540 (“SB 540”). Building tourism in a manageable, sustainable way can stimulate and diversify Montana’s local economy, protect and enhance local resources, and foster community pride without compromising the qualities that make local communities so special. The purpose of PCTGP is to elevate communities across the state, increase their economic vibrancy by improving their appeal as visitor destinations, and improve their resilience as a destination by enhancing and diversifying tourism-related assets and infrastructure. Through this program, communities can cultivate regional visions, identify strategies to harness the power of tourism, and develop unique experiences in tourism."-MT Department of Commerce. 

Communities awarded the PCTGP may be awarded up to $2.75M over the five years, applications must be submitted on or before December 31, 2024.  We are looking for 8-12 community members interested in increasing the Tourism for our area by forming a steering committee.    If you are interested in joining the committee or would like more information, please contact Terri at the Town Office, 406-787-5271 or email townclerk@culbertsonmt.com.
