Congrats to the Somerset County Board of Commissioners.
In 2007, the Somerset County Commissioners provided funding to the Somerset County Business Partnership to explore the impacts on the hospitality industry to the overall economic vitality of the County. Over the next few years Somerset County Tourism was formed, becoming one of the State’s Destination Marketing Organizations. Since the pandemic, the County Commissioners have assisted our Tourism Division with the creation of Sip & See Somerset, the Somerset County Tourism Council, Seeded in Somerset and numerous projects heading into our Country’s 250th Anniversary. There is no better Tourism Partner than the County of Somerset.
Congrats to HOME of Somerset County.
