Kittitas County, WA - 08/07/2016 - Kittitas County is now accepting applications for Lodging Tax Fund Grants for Special Events and Projects. This call for applications is county-wide. The application is posted online at the County's and the various Cities' websites, or may be picked up in person at the Kittitas County Board of Commissioner's office at the courthouse in Ellensburg.
The Lodging Tax Grant Program for Special Events and Projects is a collaborative program between Kittitas County and each city in the county which collects lodging tax. Applicants only need to complete one application to be eligible for consideration. The County and the cities of Ellensburg, Cle Elum, and Roslyn will jointly review and award funding. Funds awarded through this process may be used for tourism marketing; the marketing and operations of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists; and supporting the operation of tourism-related facilities owned or operated by non-profit organizations. “We continue to update and improve our process each year through review and discussion,” remarked Kittitas County Commissioner Paul Jewell. “This year is no different and the application and requirements have changed in some significant ways. In order to avoid problems and disqualification, it is really important that every applicant receive the new forms and read them thoroughly.” Commissioner Jewell chairs the County’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee and presides over the joint meetings between the County and the Cities. Completed grant applications are due no later than 5:00 PM, September 30, 2016. Applications are available online at www.co.kittitas.wa.us, www.ci.roslyn.wa.us, www.ci.ellensburg.wa.us, and www.cityofcleelum.com. A copy may also be picked up in person at the Kittitas County Courthouse, Commissioner's Office, 205 W. 5th Avenue, Suite 108, Ellensburg, WA.
