FONDA, N.Y.— Home to a wealth of historic sites, outdoor recreation opportunities and other tourist destinations, Montgomery County continues to market itself as a place for people to explore.
Efforts to attract more people to the county’s communities will now be getting a boost through the 2026 Montgomery County Local Tourism Grant Program, announced today by Montgomery County Executive Pete Vroman.
