According to the state tourism office, in the first 11 months of 2007 Adams County saw a 26 percent boost in lodging tax receipts.
It was a busy year last year for Hastings. It was the first full racing season for Motorsport Park Hastings which draws racing enthusiasts to Hastings throughout the summer. We celebrated the opening of a new Holiday Inn Express and we welcomed a large influx of natural gas pipeline workers. We also continued to see the benefits of being a host community for the Amateur Softball Association at the Bill Smith Softball Complex and we also welcomed the NSAA State Softball Tournament in October.
We look forward to another strong summer in 2008!
