Occupancy tax committee proposes two rolling application periods, focuses on tourism impact
Summary
The occupancy tax committee discussed two rolling admission periods (April and November), workshops before each window, prioritizing tourism impact over applicant type, and offering resubmission with committee feedback for promising applications.
The Johnsburg Town Board's occupancy tax committee reported plans to move to two rolling application periods—one opening in April and one in November—with a workshop before each period to help applicants prepare. The committee indicated its primary criterion will be tourism impact rather than whether an applicant is a for-profit or nonprofit organization.
The committee also discussed allowing partially developed proposals to be resubmitted if the committee agrees and the applicant accepts feedback, and suggested breaking larger projects into phased pieces to build capacity over several years. The Chair said the spring window would open in April with a planning workshop around March 31.
