Fort Benton, a small town along the Upper Missouri River, has been awarded $1.25 million as part of the Pilot Community Tourism Grant funds to boost their tourism appeal and stimulate economic growth. With a focus on enhancing their summer tourism season, the town aims to increase year-round tourism, advertise winter events, and encourage visitors to stay longer. The grant money will be used for marketing, infrastructure improvement, and enhancing parks and trails to attract more tourists and diversify economic opportunities. Local businesses, such as Fort Benton Hardware and The Public House restaurant, are excited about the potential increase in tourism and the opportunity to showcase the town’s history, food, and attractions. Other communities in the state have also been selected to receive $1.25 million in grant funding over two years to enhance their tourism infrastructure and assets. This initiative aims to improve quality of life for residents and establish a thriving tourism hub for all.
