Wisconsin’s Department of Administration Secretary visited Manitowoc Thursday and met with Mayor Justin Nickels.
Secretary Joel Brennan spoke with Seehafer News about his stop in the lakeshore area, and explained that he is here “to talk to the Mayor and the people in the travel and tourism industry to kind of get a sense of the recovery here from Covid-19, where things are going and what the state can do to be a good partner with local units of government.”
Brennan was asked if there was anything specific he was presenting to the city.
“We’re talking about some of the funding that’s coming out around travel, tourism, and hospitality here,” he replied. “There should be dollars available in the coming weeks for hotels, for the tourism and leisure industry, so the application process is ongoing right now.”
And, so those dollars should start to flow very shortly to the community and to businesses here.
