City opens tourism grant funding apply by Oct. 15

The City of Marysville is currently accepting applications for its Tourism Grant Program, with a deadline set for 4:30 p. m. on October 15. This program aims to stimulate local tourism and promote overnight visitor stays through various qualifying events, including trade shows and performing arts. Funding originates from a 2% lodging tax levied on hotel patrons within the city.

Eligible applicants must possess nonprofit status and demonstrate a proven ability to manage proposed projects. The grants are awarded on a competitive basis for partial reimbursement of project costs. Organizations such as historical societies, arts groups, and service clubs can apply to enhance their tourism-related initiatives. The initiative not only supports local culture but also contributes to the city’s economy by increasing visitor numbers. Interested parties can find further information and submit applications online at the city’s official website.
