Commissioners approve TRT awards for local nonprofits and events
Summary
The board adopted resolution R2026-3726 to grant transient room tax (TRT) funding to several local nonprofits and events, approving awards including $15,800 for Arts to Zion, $5,000 for Dinosaur Auditorium, and up to $30,000 for the St. George Area Chamber guide.
The Washington County Board voted to approve transient room tax funding recommendations forwarded by the Tourism Tax Advisory Board. Staff listed multiple awards and dollar amounts; the presenter summarized the full slate and the board approved the recommendation by motion and voice vote.
"That total is 64,840," the presenter said when summarizing the initial slate of awards for a set of nonprofit and cultural events. Commissioners moved, seconded and adopted resolution R2026-3726 to approve the listed awards; the resolution formalizes the county’s distribution of tourism-related marketing funds to local cultural organizations and visitor-serving events.
