Cresco awards $4,741.12 in hotel-motel grants to local events
Summary
The Cresco Tourism Advisory Committee recommended and council approved distribution of available hotel-motel tax funds totaling $4,741.12 among three applicants: $2,000 to Cresco Chamber Family Fun Nights, $2,000 to The Mighty Howard County Fair, and $741.12 to the Tex Co Restoration Fund.
The Cresco Tourism Advisory Committee reviewed three hotel-motel tax applications that together requested $11,000; $4,741.12 was available for distribution. At the April 6 meeting, the committee’s recommendations — awarding $2,000 to Cresco Chamber Family Fun Nights, $2,000 to The Mighty Howard County Fair, and $741.12 to the Tex Co Restoration Fund — were moved, seconded and approved by council vote.
Why it matters: Hotel-motel tax grants subsidize local events and tourism promotion; the awards aim to support community events that draw visitors to Cresco.
Implementation: Staff will process awards and coordinate with recipients on allowable uses and reimbursement procedures under hotel-motel funds.
