Cottage Grove Tourism Grant 

Cottage Grove Tourism Commission’s (Travel Cottage Grove) purpose is to promote Cottage Grove by bringing attention to the “CG experience” through marketing and supporting our community groups/businesses who want to attract additional visitors and organize and promote local community events.  We strive to provide unforgettable experiences for visitors and locals, alike, fostering a sense of pride and connection to Cottage Grove. Cottage Grove’s Tourism commission, of Destination Cottage Grove, is entirely funded by hotel/motel tax revenue, not property tax dollars.
