| 1 13 was identified our Capital Development Plan as being critical to the success of our own tourism objectives at Carroll's Hundred. The Task Force [or its successor] could be of immense help in taking the message of the need to more adequately promote Maryland tourism to the Governor and to the General Assembly. Every historical venue in Maryland is suffering at present because of a lack of commitment to the state's tourism industry. The history and legacy of slavery is particularly hard hit because many historical sites are just now coming to terms with the need to study and educate the public about this essential part of our American past. When there is so little tourism funding available, it is very hard for new programs and new initiatives to compete with those sites which have traditionally received allocations over the years. Awareness is critical because of the need to find funding support for the extensive research which will be required as we investigate the conditions of slavery that existed here. We hope that the Task Force [or its successor] can help us to find the linkages we need within the state which can help us to bring badly needed funding resources to the Carroll's Hundred site. |
