GCP127 - Interview w/Sarah Smith, Director of Placemaking & Tourism at Grow Clinton
In this episode of the Grow Clinton Podcast, Andy and Jenny are joined by Grow Clinton's newest team member, Sarah Smith. Sarah is the director of placemaking & tourism. She has been with the organization for three weeks and has hit the ground running!
The three discuss the economic impact of tourism in the State of Iowa, existing regional attractions, developing the Grow Clinton tourism brand, and Sarah's plans for enhancing the department's effectiveness.
In partnership with the City of Clinton, Grow Clinton's placemaking and tourism efforts are funded through the hotel/motel tax. Individuals staying overnight, supporting our existing hotels, motels, and other short-term lodging options, pay an additional tax on the rooms. That tax is collected and applied to developing a robust tourism marketing effort to highlight Clinton as a destination.
