CVB BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVES AWARDS TOTALING $821,000 FOR TOURISM GRANTS

The board of directors of the Pinehurst Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) voted unanimously at its October 24 meeting to award $821,000 in grants to six Moore County municipalities and non-profits as part of the organization’s One-Time Project Fund (OTPF). This is the first time in the 36-year history of the CVB that the organization has offered a tourism-related grant program. The program was proposed earlier this year due to a surplus of the CVB’s fund balance which created an available pool of up to $1 million for the OTPF.
