The Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau has awarded a $100,000 grant to French Lick Resort to support its efforts in attracting conferences and conventions. The funding is part of the OCCVB’s 2025 grant cycle, which includes $340,000 in tourism-focused grants and sponsorships. OCCVB Executive Director Joe Lannan says the grant will help the region compete for major events and deliver top-tier hospitality. The Resort plans to use the funds for hospitality incentives, marketing, and outreach to drive group bookings. Additional grants, including Tourism Impact and Marketing Match Grants are now available for local and regional tourism organizations.
