Tourism Commission awards funds for two projects The Tammany Trace Foundation and the city of Covington were the big winners Wednesday after the St. Tammany Tourist Commission heard from three applicants hoping to share $56,663 from the commission’s Special Reserve Fund. Every year the commission sets aside money in the Special Reserve Fund, which is used to help pay for the bricks and mortar parts of projects that promote St. Tammany Parish tourism and attract both out-of-state and out-of-parish tourists. The recipients of the funds must finish the projects in a timely manner. |
