COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Organizers of the Tour of Missouri say the international cycling race likely won’t be held in a few months because of uncertainty over state funding.
The 2010 race is scheduled to be run Aug. 31 through Sept. 6.
State lawmakers awarded the race $1 million from the Division of Tourism. But the agency faces deep budget cuts and wants to use the $1 million on other projects.
Tourism Commission chairwoman Marci Bennett says the state money will not be put toward the race.
