Visit Harford is suing the county it’s supposed to promote over missed payment

A longstanding tourism organization in Harford County alleges the local government sought to undermine its reputation and replace the nonprofit after attempts to seek payment failed, according to a new lawsuit. Visit Harford, which became the county’s official tourism marketing organization in 2015, filed the lawsuit Wednesday morning, accusing the county of breach of contract and interfering with business relationships. Under an almost decade-long contract, the county is required to pay the organization $645,000 per year in three equal installments.
