Maryland Heritage Areas Authority Provides 63 Grants to Heritage Tourism Sites, Activities, and Organizations Across Maryland

Sixty-three matching grants totaling $2,713,480 were awarded to Maryland non-profits, local jurisdictions and other heritage tourism organizations – including heritage,
historic preservation, natural resources and educational organizations– by the Maryland Heritage Areas
Authority (MHAA). These grant funds support heritage tourism projects and activities that expand economic
development and tourism-related job creation throughout the state.

MHAA oversees Maryland's system of 12 locally-administered, State-certified Heritage Areas. Heritage Areas are places to experience – see, hear and even taste – the authentic heritage of Maryland in a unique way that cannot be experienced anywhere else. Stories of the people, the land and the waters of Maryland are told in these distinctive places.
