The Garrett County Mountain Maryland Gateway to the West Heritage Area has officially become the 12th Certified Heritage Area in the state of Maryland.
The heritage certification brings a multitude of heritage tourism opportunities in the form of grants, loans, and tax incentives to promote and enhance heritage tourism in Garrett County. The certification notice came in the form of a letter from Matthew Power, who serves as chairman of the Maryland Heritage Area Authority as well as deputy secretary for the Maryland Department of Planning.
"I want to applaud the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Garrett County Commissioners, all of the participating jurisdictions in Garrett County, the Garrett County Heritage Technical Advisory Committee, and all of the other public and private partner organizations that successfully worked to make the Garrett County Mountain Maryland Gateway to the West Heritage Area Maryland’s 12th Certified Heritage Area," as stated in the letter.
"We were very excited to learn of our certification," said CEO and chamber president Nicole Christian. "Garrett County has been working through this process for about seven years and I thank everyone who helped bring the initiative to fruition. We know that being a Certified Heritage Area will provide great benefits to Garrett County."
