Visit Burleson Tourism Grant

The City of Burleson is calling for proposals for tourism-related projects that are specifically designed to attract overnight visitors to the area. The city will provide funds from the Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax revenue generated within the Burleson city limits in the form of the Visit Burleson Tourism Grant.
Last year the city granted money to support The Burleson Heritage Foundation for historical preservation of the rail cars, advertising of Old Town Burleson, the Burleson Wine Crawl event, the SalsaRita Festival & 5K, The Honey Tour Bike Ride, Twin Fiddle Productions events and Lost Oak Winery.

Two great public safety programs are getting ready to start. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is offered through the fire marshal's department.
The CERT Program helps train people to be better prepared to respond to emergencies in their community during times of disaster.
Citizens Police Academy is a program with the police department that
provides a bridge between the officer in the car and the citizens in the field. Citizens will gain an appreciation of problems and challenges facing law enforcement and then they become the police department's "goodwill ambassadors" in the community.
