IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0DEVELOPING THE DESTINATION HAS BEEN A MAJOR FOCUS FOR VISIT BIG SKY BECAUSE OF THE COVID19 PANDEMIC. WORKING WITH TOURISM STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO STAY IN BUSINESS DURING THIS UNPRECEDENTED WORLD WIDE PANDEMIC IS TOP PRIORITY. A MICROGRANT PROGRAM WAS IMPLEMENTED TO GIVE BIG SKY BUSINESSES THE MUCH NEEDED CASH FLOW TO PAY EXPENSES SUCH AS RENT, UTILITIES, AND OTHER BUSINESS EXPENSES UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO RE-OPEN FOR VISITATION. SINCE BIG SKY'S ECONOMY IS PRIMARILY A VISITOR ECONOMY, THE SURVIVAL OF OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY IS PARAMOUNT FOR OUR FUTURE.
