Privatized Tourism Effort
Wins Key Committee OK
Administration Committee Acts Wednesday
COOPERSTOWN – The county Board of Representatives’ Intergovernmental Affairs Committee this morning unanimously approved a three-year contract with Destination Marketing of Otsego County (DMOC), opening the way to end a months-long debate.
The contract is for three years, while DMOC was seeking an extension to five years. However, county Rep. Len Carson, R-Oneonta, an IGA member, said he would be open to extending it to four years at some point, as it would give the privatized tourism effort more leverage in negotiating advertising contracts.
