PORT ANGELES — Clallam County commissioners signed a one-year, $340,000 contract with Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau to promote and develop tourism in the county.
The money comes from hotel-motel tax receipts.
County Administrator Jim Jones said there is about $80,000 left in the account.
“It was an excellent year in 2010,” Jones told commissioners Tuesday.
“We really got far more revenue than we had budgeted. It was either the first- or second-best tourism year that we’ve ever had countywide.”
Commissioners also approved a $30,000 contract with the Clallam County Economic Development Council to promote and enhance economic development and employment opportunities.
