This tourism feasibility study grant program is designed to assist incorporated cities and counties in Arkansas with feasibility studies pertaining to tourism attraction projects. A tourism feasibility study is research conducted for the purpose of determining the possibility and potentiality of a specific tourism attraction within the city or county boundaries.

Only incorporated cities and counties in Arkansas are eligible for the one-to-one matching feasibility study grants. Applicants may apply for up to $15,000 in reimbursable matching funds. If funded, the feasibility study grants will be awarded in three cycles with the deadlines for applications on the last Friday in July, the last Friday in September, and the last Friday in November.
