Local initiatives
Thank you to all who submitted local initiatives applications for the spring funding round! At its meeting on Monday, Feb. 7, the Discover Siskiyou Management Committee awarded $55,000 worth of marketing funds to seven events taking place throughout Siskiyou this spring and early summer. Keep an eye on Friday Update emails late this summer for information about the next round of funding.
