Rockland officials yesterday announced more than 200-thousand dollars in grants for groups that promote tourism in the county.

Director of Economic Growth and Tourism Lucy Redzeposki said the grants are helpful, but working together has helped boost Rockland’s visibility as a tourist destination…

County Executive Ed Day said it’s important to be welcoming to visitors so that they share in the county’s beauty and spend time — and their cash — here…

The average county household would have to pay an additional $555 annually in property taxes to maintain current services if not for money generated by tourism. Other recipients of grant money include the Garner Arts Center, Rock-Bergen Music Festival, Visit Nyack and others. See the complete list here:
