By Tom Robinson Dec 29, 2022 | 1:09 PM

(Atlantic) The Cass County Board of Supervisors will continue discussing the request to use ARPA funds for a new tourism director. Cara Morgan, from Golden Hills RC & D, will appear in front of the Board on this morning for a presentation on tourism, trails, and information on the feasibility of a full or part-time Cass County tourism director.

For the past 15 years, Kenner Baxter of Marne led the Cass County Tourism group as a volunteer and announced her plans to retire last spring.

The past week, Brigham Hoegh provided the supervisors with a breakdown of what a part or full-time director would look like from the fiscal year 2022 through the fiscal year 2025. The total ARPA funding request for a part-time director is $63,922.80 and $118,722.35 for a full-time director.

The supervisors have received negative input from constituents regarding this issue.
