During Monday’s meeting, Punxsutawney Borough Council voted to decertify the Pennsylvania Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau as Jefferson County’s tourism agency.
The Punxsutawney Spirit reports, Scott North, a Jefferson County commissioner, explained that the county had already taken the necessary steps and now it was up to the boroughs and townships to meet the population threshold for decertification.
The Spirit adds, if the decertification passes, the county will redirect the funds, which amounted to $283,000 last year, towards Jefferson County’s initiatives.
