Dayton Chamber awarded $14,150 for rural map project
At the November 4, 2020 meeting of the Nevada Commission on Tourism, the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center was awarded $14,150 as part of the COVID-19 Rural Recovery Grant Program to print 40,000 Dayton and Mound House map and brochures.
Earlier this year, the Chamber was awarded $3,500 for 10,000 maps. This grant increases the amount of maps printed and the distribution area is expanded to northern Nevada, Reno, Carson City, north and south Lake Tahoe, three Welcome Centers, in addition to 140 sites in the California Gold Country. The grant also includes an online version of the map (with page-turning feature) to be featured on our website www.daytonnvchamber.com.
Chamber President John Cassinelli stated "the main message of this program is that the town of Dayton is open and following state COVID guidelines for safety. This program will let potential visitors know that they can safely experience the town of Dayton and the many surrounding historic areas.
Visitors from Reno and Carson City can discover what's right outside their backyard, and visitors from other parts of the state or outside of the state, can stay overnight in Carson City, Reno, or Virginia City. We are grateful to the Nevada Commission on Tourism and Travel Nevada for this award."
Bruce Rettig, owner of Charter Advertising who is designing the map, assisted executive director Helaine Morres in submitting the grant. He said the map not only features the communities of Dayton and Mound House, but also includes the Historic Downtown Dayton Walking Tour as well as the V&T Train Routes. The map project is now undergoing final review and will be ready for the holiday season. Great Christmas stocking stuffers!
