BUFFALO COUNTY, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – As part of the state-wide tourism economic impact record, buffalo co. Broke their own previous record, contributing $ 28 million to the total. County administrative coordinator Lee said, “From a local standpoint here, the county is becoming more and more involved with our local businesses trying to promote tourism. Buffalo County’s historically known for its agricultural industry, or the deer hunting industry, and we’re trying to broaden that horizon.”...
...One of the county’s new big pushes is to utilize the Mississippi River’s tourism capabilities, such as with the great Alma fishing float, run by first-year owner Taylor Chapman. He said, “It’s pretty cool when you get to see some guys, coming from halfway across the country to come to our little town of Alma and just come check things out like fishing. And some people want to explore the rest of the town, stuff like that. It’s pretty cool. You don’t see something like this very often.”...
