Overnight stays in Northampton County are helping to promote downtown Easton.
Northampton County Executive Lamont G. McClure recently presented a check for $35,000 in Hotel Tax Grant funds today to the Greater Easton Development Partnership (GEDP) in support of the Easton Ambassadors‘ Clean, Safe, and Hospitality services.
The Ambassadors program provides on-the-ground support in downtown Easton. Their work includes litter removal, hospitality services for visitors, and assisting in keeping public spaces vibrant and inviting.
“The Easton Ambassadors make a real difference for the people who live, work, and visit downtown Easton,” said McClure. “By supporting their efforts through Hotel Tax Grant funding, we are investing in tourism, strengthening our local economy, and enhancing quality of life across Northampton County.”
The Hotel Tax Grant Program provides funding for projects and initiatives that promote tourism, encourage economic growth, and highlight Northampton County’s cultural and community assets.
