  • Appalachian Freedom Heritage Tourism Initiative

    Convention and Visitor's Bureau: 2022 saw increased traffic in the CVB social media platforms. The CVB gave a presentation at the statehouse on the state of travel and tourism in Lawrence County. It discussed how tourism affects our economy and the importance of investing in tourism. On the same day, it happened to be Tourism Day in Ohio and Lawrence County was able to set up an information booth along with other destinations across the state to inform the public of what we have to offer. In late 2022, CVB received a $1.5 million ARC POWER Grant. This grant will be utilized to develop the Appalachian Freedom Heritage Tourism Initiative.
