Massachusetts Earmarks over $1 Million for Travel Recovery

The U.S. state of Massachusetts has announced over $1 million in travel and tourism recovery grants, with a portion of that coming to western Massachusetts.  

According to a report on WWLP, Greater Springfield Convention & Visitors Bureau, Spirit of Springfield, Springfield Museums, and several other local organizations received grants ranging from $11,000 to $100,000.   

Those funds will be used for several different projects that aim to attract visitors. The money is part of the state’s newly created Travel and Tourism Recovery Program, the report indicates.

Massachusetts is looking forward to rekindling its economy through the development and enhancement of tourism, which has been hit especially hard by the pandemic.
