Asheville TDA Awards Momentum $500,000 for indoor planetarium
Great news!!  The Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority (BCTDA), through the Tourism Product Development Fund (TPDF), just awarded more than $2.6 million to six community tourism projects. This brings the total amount awarded to projects to nearly $12 million since 2001. Funding for the TPDF comes from 1% of the 4% occupancy tax collected at Buncombe County lodgings to assist with construction of projects that are expected to further enhance the community, while also driving more overnight hotel stays and pumping additional dollars into the local economy. Among the many recipients was Momentum, which will receive a $500,000 grant to build an indoor planetarium within the new facility.
