(AUGUSTA, GA) In response to the Federal budget sequestration furloughs of Department of Defense (DOD) employees at Fort Gordon, the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), in conjunction with local tourism partners, has developed a plan to offer special discounts to DOD employees. Because many employees will now have additional free time, but limited disposable income, the Augusta CVB is securing special discount offers from several local events, attractions and hotels. In addition to the discount program, the Augusta CVB has compiled a calendar of free events happening during the furlough period.
