BATTLE GROUND — To attract more tourists to the area and boost the city’s economy, Battle Ground is offering grant funding for tourism-based programs.
Grant applications are being accepted for activities that will take place in 2024. Funding will be provided 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.
To apply, submit an application summarizing the activity or event, how it supports tourism, and a proposed budget indicating how lodging tax dollars will be used. Applications are available at https://www.cityofbg.org/110/Lodging-Tax-Advisory-Committee.
The application deadline is 5 p.m. Aug. 31.
The city’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee will review proposals and forward recommendations to the city council for final determination of awards in December. Grant awards are distributed on a reimbursement basis.
