The Merrill Area Chamber of Commerce announced that applications for tourism advertising grants are available now, and the deadline for submitting those applications is Sept. 1, 2023, at 12 noon.
The Chamber is the administrator of the tourism program for the City of Merrill. The Chamber and the Merrill Tourism Commission have established a program to encourage and promote the expansion of tourism in the Merrill area. Organizations interested in promoting tourism in the Merrill area may apply for assistance in marketing their event to attract visitors from outside our local areas, with the purpose to promote tourism and create paid overnight stays.
In addition to the application, applicants are required to disclose their advertising plan, organizational budget, and source of funding when completing the application to be considered for funding. Non-complete forms will not be considered for funding.
Applications can be picked-up at the Merrill Area Chamber of Commerce, 705 North Center Ave. For more information, contact the Chamber at 715.536.9474.
