The City of Battle Ground is offering grants to help fund programs that attract tourists to Battle Ground.
Grant applications are now open for activities that will take place in 2024 and applications are due by 5 p.m. on Aug. 31.
“Tourism creates opportunity and a positive economic impact on the local community,” stated a news release from the city. “Funding is granted for the marketing or operations of special events, programs and activities designed to bring visitors to Battle Ground. Previous grants included funding for wayfinding signs, marketing materials and event operations.”
Those interested in receiving grant funds should submit an application that summarizes the activity or event, how it supports tourism, and a proposed budget indicating how lodging tax dollars will be used.
The city’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee will review proposals and forward recommendations to the Battle Ground City Council for final determination of awards in December of this year, stated the release. Grant awards are distributed on a reimbursement basis.
