Background
The Department of Commerce was appropriated $15 million to fund the next round of Tourism Destination Development Grants for the 2025-2027 biennium. The grants will evolve slightly to reflect learnings from the first round which provided $25 million for 14 projects statewide. The projects will be evaluated on their ability to provide new experiences, how they align with North Dakota’s identity and values, their long term impact and the timeline for completion.
