Friday Harbor lodging tax grant application open now
Posted May 24, 2022 at 11:17 am by San Juan Update
The Town shares an update about the availability of tourism-related grant funds.
The Town of Friday Harbor’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee is accepting applications through September 12 for grants to fund tourism promotion of events and activities taking place within the town in 2023. Preference will be given to those operations and activities that encourage tourists to visit during the shoulder and winter seasons. Summer activities are acceptable but should be scheduled to avoid what are recognized as high-traffic weekends.
LTAC grants are awarded annually by the Town Council and are funded with the state’s hotel-motel tax, collected on all in-town lodging stays of less than 30 days. Grant proposals are reviewed by the LTAC, which is made up of council members, lodging owners, and community members appointed by the Mayor. The Town Council takes the LTAC’s recommendations under advisement when determining final grant awards.
Interested parties should review the LTAC request for proposals and grant application. Applications must be submitted to Town Hall no later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, September 12.
