The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau, along with the Centre County Commissioners, have awarded more than $1 million for projects, events and initiatives designed to foster visitation to Happy Valley, PA. The Tourism Grant funding totaling a record $1,100,750, will support 81 marketing and tourism enhancement projects. HVAB President and CEO Fritz Smith said, “Topping the one million mark is a tremendous milestone for the Tourism Grant program, and it’s a visible example of how strong tourism economy, particularly overnight stays, benefits the entire community.” The Tourism Grant program is funded by the lodging tax, paid for by those staying in Centre County’s hotels and lodging properties. Since 2003-04, the program has awarded more than $9.4 million to projects, events and initiatives that grow and enhance Happy Valley’s tourism.
