Attraction Development Grants

Overview

The Attraction Development Grant is designed to provide strategic economic assistance to public, private entities, and not-for-profit groups that are developing new or enhancing existing tourism attractions in the state that will create economic impact through job creation, capital investment, revenue, and increased visitation. We are looking for projects that will bring new visitors to Kansas. All projects should have an accountable tie to the tourism industry.
