Pueblo awarded grant in time for 2 major milestones

The Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce was awarded a grant from the Colorado Tourism Office to boost local tourism marketing efforts.

The grant — an undisclosed amount — is part of the CTO’s Tourism Marketing Grant program, which aims to enhance tourism initiatives across the state. The funding will support the Chamber’s efforts to promote Pueblo as a must-see destination, highlighting the community’s rich heritage, music and culture, according to chamber spokesperson Krystle Herrera.

The grant will directly support the CTO’s “250/150” program, a statewide digital passport initiative created to celebrate both America’s 250th anniversary and Colorado’s 150th anniversary of statehood in 2026. This program is part of a larger effort to encourage tourism and exploration across the state thro
