Harrisburg Tourism Study
The Tourism Study is out. The result - Harrisburg must brand itself as an attraction. Not bad advice, I suppose. But the article in the Patriot points out the real problem - no money to do any of this stuff. Note in particular that the centerpiece of the study conclusions - that we focus in heritage tourism - is met with the comment from the Reed crowd that plans for the African American Museum are on hold until funding can be found. Again, plans were announced over a year ago, complete with architectural drawings. But no timetable, no budget, no concrete details. Madness. I think the Emperor is naked.

yes, but as I read it, that amount was just over $300,000 per year. And Reed said there was no movement on the African American Museum funding.
I'm all for the hotel tax - that makes a lot of sense. A hotel tax isn't going to dissuade tourists, since they really won't see it until checkout.
