The Capital Improvement Grant Program is a tourism-focused program designed to assist with funding for capital tourism development projects that will help attract more overnight guests to Lake County. Capital projects must be located within Lake County, Ohio and serve to establish a new facility or improve an existing facility or infrastructure. All projects approved for funding must prove that the project will be responsible for attracting overnight visitors to the County. Eligibility is open to municipalities in the County representing a tourist attraction or any publicly-owned or nonprofit-run attraction, lodging facility or other business that can demonstrate travel and tourism promotion to Lake County among its primary activities. Projects with the greatest potential for positive economic impact for overnight tourism in Lake County will receive primary consideration.
