The funding is used by Travel Salem to promote overnight tourism through advertising, branding, promotions, sponsorship of special events, and other programs that increase overnight transient lodging stays.
In other business, Council will:
- Decide whether to initiate eminent domain/condemnation proceedings related to the Bridges Rehabilitation Project funded by the 2022 Safety and Livability Bond.
