Island County’s Lodging and Tax Advisory Committee is accepting proposal applications for the 2017 Island County 2 percent Hotel-Motel Tax tourism promotions.

The program is estimated to bring in $246,000 in lodging tax revenue that will eventually be allocated in various grants in 2017. In the past, the grants have funded roughly 20-25 proposals for Island County events, visitor centers and tourism activities.

The committee, a volunteer group charged with recommending which proposals will receive funding, will accept applications until Aug. 31.

The form is posted to the Island County website or may be requested by contacting Pam Dill at pamd@co.island.wa.us.
