DOVER — The Delaware Tourism Office will reopen the Sports Tourism Capital Investment Fund for applications Thursday.
First established through the fiscal year 2024 Bond and Capital Improvements Act, the fund provides financial support to new or existing sport 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 tournaments, including the USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Volleyball Championship, the U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships and the 2022 BMW Championship.
The state has also hosted smaller-scale gatherings in lacrosse, football, soccer, softball, baseball and other sports.
Applications for the funding will be accepted by the Delaware Tourism Office until Sept. 13 at 4 p.m.
