The County of Westchester, New York received a $520,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's (EDA) Economic Adjustment Assistance (CFDA 11.307) program. The funding supports development of the Westchester County Tourism Recovery Plan to undertake tourism research, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning initiatives to prioritize short, medium, and long-term actions for recovering and growing the county's tourism sector in the wake of adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon completion in April 2023, the professional plan documentation is intended to identify new business opportunities and models, as well as initiatives to improve the county's attractiveness as a destination, with the goals of increasing employment, spurring $520k in private investment, and advancing regional economic resiliency in White Plains and surrounding municipalities.
