Get your LTAC applications ready! In two weeks, Chelan County will call for tourism-related marketing and event projects that may be suitable for financial support via lodging tax dollars.
Lodging tax dollars are generated by local lodging establishments. Money is offered annually in the form of grants to tourist-related organizations, such as festivals and museums.
The county’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, or LTAC, reviews these applications for the funding, making its recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.
The application period is open Sept. 1 through 5 p.m. on Oct. 15. The online application process opens on Sept. 1. Funds granted must be used for an activity, event or project in the calendar year 2025.
Chelan County allocated nearly $320,000 last year to 23 groups and nonprofits to be used in a variety of efforts, from marketing and outreach to new and well-established festivals to museum exhibits and event guest speakers and entertainment.
