Tourism Capital Grant

Overview

Recognizing that a great place to visit begins with a great place to live, this program is designed to support capital projects that align with the priorities outlined in the Destination Master Plan, enhance quality of place for both residents and visitors, and contribute to the economic vitality of our region. By investing in strategic capital projects, we endeavor to create destination infrastructure that inspires travelers to explore our five mountain towns and stay overnight, fostering long-term growth for Haywood’s tourism industry.

Definition of a Capital Project:
A capital project is a significant investment in physical infrastructure or facilities that enhances Haywood County’s tourism economy with the potential to attract visitors, enhances the local tourism experience, and contributes to the long-term economic vitality of the region.
