Cobb Travel & Tourism received approval by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners in January 2023 to administer an ARPA grant from Cobb County to meet the needs of Cobb-based hospitality and tourism organizations.
The purpose of the Hospitality & Tourism – Workforce Employee Retention Grant Program is to help offset the cost of retaining and recruiting a workforce in this difficult labor market for four areas of Cobb’s hospitality and tourism industries: arts organizations, live entertainment venues, tourist attractions, and craft beverage makers.
Funding will be administered to benefit up to 100 organizations for a total grant allocation of $20,000 to be used for workforce recovery and retention. Cobb Travel & Tourism will require each company to sign a memorandum of agreement prior to receiving funds and to complete a survey series during the grant process.
The grant application window is open until Dec. 8. For a list of eligibility requirements and more information on this grant opportunity, visit https://travelcobb.org/arpa-grant/.
