Deadline approaches for ATAX grants

Organizations interested in ATAX grants, available through the office of Oconee Parks, Recreation and Tourism, are facing a deadline this week. All applications for the latest cycle of grants must be filed by 3 o’clock Friday afternoon with the PRT office at High Falls County Park. The commissioners will review the applications and vote during their March 17 meeting. Eligible projects for ATAX grants include visitor centers, tourism advertising and promotion, facilities for civic and cultural events, and the promotion of arts and cultural events for the attraction of tourists.
