Grant funds are intended exclusively to develop, promote, and improve tourism to and within the City of Fernley. Funds may be used for no other purpose. The FCTA is looking for projects that are consistent with the plan’s goals and objectives. Projects should identify a specific target market, and offer a specific strategy for reaching this market.
