State funding helps public tourist facilities operate

Beginning July 1, 2026, the law provides $887,908 for the budget year ending June 30, 2027. Arkansas’s Treasurer of State administers this money from the City-County Tourist Facilities Aid Fund. It pays debt and operating costs for eligible, publicly owned city-county tourist meeting and entertainment facilities under existing assistance law. Spending must stay within the appropriation and available funds, follow state purchasing and fiscal rules, and match documented budget purposes. This funding supports facilities, not direct payments to households.
