Tourism bureau to become independent in Finney County
Finney County commissioners voted to terminate the contract with the Garden City Area Chamber of Commerce that has run the county tourism bureau since at least 1977. The near-unanimous vote gives 60 days notice for the chamber's contract to end, as hoteliers urge creation of an independent bureau with its own board to oversee more than hundreds of thousands in annual transient guest tax.
