State Cuts Support Of Tourist Promotion In Potter County

For the third consecutive year, drastic reductions have been made in state support for Potter County’s tourist promotion activities. Potter County Visitors Association (PCVA) is getting $2,917 in state support this year, down from $4,925 in 2009, $13,355 the previous year, and $34,652 in 2007. State funds have been shifting from single-county tourist promotion to regional agencies, such as the 12-county “Pennsylvania Wilds” organization. The state also supports the Pennsylvania Heritage Areas promotion efforts, administered by the Pa. Rt. 6 Marketing Partnership, and has made grants for promotion of golfing and snowmobiling in Pennsylvania.
