Tourism in Bucks County is big business and the hospitality industry feeds and shelters those who visit here.
To help the industry get back to normal as more people are vaccinated and the pandemic eases this coming spring and summer, the county is funneling $7.1 million in state grants of $5,000 to $50,000 to qualifying restaurants, bars, hotels and motels.
