DOVER — On Aug. 1, the Delaware Tourism Office announced it will reopen the Sports Tourism Capital Investment Fund for applications.
First established through the FY24 Bond and Capital Improvements Act, the fund provides financial support to new or existing sports facilities that hold events throughout the year to attract out-of-state visitors and contribute to the state and local economy.
Delaware has been selected to host a variety of national sporting events, including the USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals, the MEAC Volleyball Championship, the U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships and the state’s first PGA Tour event, the 2022 BMW Championship. The state has also hosted smaller-scale sporting events in lacrosse, football, soccer, softball, baseball and other sports.
Applications for the investment fund will be accepted by the Delaware Tourism Office until Sept. 13 at 4 p.m.
