City of Yreka Awarded EPA RERC Planning Grant
In September 2021, the City of Yreka became a recipient of the EPA’s Recreation Economy for Rural Communities (RERC) planning assistance program. The Siskiyou EDC and Discover Siskiyou staff encouraged and assisted the City of Yreka in applying for the program. Yreka is one of ten communities selected, nationwide.
In the first stage of the program, a steering committee will lead a two-day workshop in Yreka (Spring 2022), where residents, leaders, businesses and outdoor stakeholders will have the opportunity to draft and define community goals, strengths and challenges, and strategies. Following the workshop, a professional team will draft a formal Action Plan to guide city leaders, action groups, and tourism experts to take next steps. Program outcomes can elevate economic development and downtown revitalization in Yreka.

Local initiatives tourism event funding
We are excited to announce that Discover Siskiyou is officially re-launching the “Local Initiatives” program! This program is a way for local businesses, tourism groups, and collectives to leverage the dollars invested by Siskiyou lodging properties to drive increased overnight visitation to individual communities throughout Siskiyou.
After a year of postponing events due to COVID-19, Discover Siskiyou is investing $110,150 in our local communities through a competitive application process. Discover Siskiyou Local Initiatives will support local events that drive overnight visitation and will now also provide the opportunity for jurisdictions to provide a 1:1 match for these event investments OR an investment in a digital marketing campaign specific to the awarded jurisdiction with branding, artwork, and implementation provided in-kind by Discover Siskiyou.
