Independence: County moves to create independent CTB
Finney County Commission voted to create an independent convention and tourism bureau with its own board of directors, effective after final publication on Nov 19 and a 60 day waiting period. The CTB would replace the current arrangement under the Garden City Area Chamber of Commerce, funded by the 6 percent transient guest tax. An advisory committee voted to hire an attorney and form a task force including CTB members to oversee the transition and to bring plans back for formal votes. The committee also allocated 5000 to Friends of Lee Richardson Zoo for Cat Canyon promotion.
