Redmond,
WA –The
City of Redmond is now accepting applications for its 2019 Tourism Promotion
Grant Program through Wednesday, October 31, at 5 p.m. The
goal of Redmond's Tourism Promotion Program is to attract visitors to Redmond. Grant applicants may be
cultural, historical, educational, sports, or community organizations
coordinating events and tournaments that bring visitors to Redmond.
The
grants are available to help fund projects that stimulate tourism and our local
economy in Redmond, and are paid by a portion of the one percent sales tax on
hotel rooms located in Redmond. Grants
may not exceed 50 percent of the cost of the project.
The
Redmond Lodging Tax Advisory Committee will evaluate qualifying applications on
a competitive basis, using the official tourism promotion funding criteria, and
will forward recommendations to the Mayor and City Council for approval. City Council will award the grants in January
2019.
Applications
and funding criteria information are available through the City of Redmond’s
website at www.redmond.gov/TourismGrant.
