Lodging Tax Grant Program Application Period Opens

Spokane Valley is accepting applications for its 2026 Lodging Tax Grant Program, designed to promote tourism and enhance economic activity in the area. Funded by lodging tax revenues, the grants target organizations that can draw overnight visitors to the city. Applicants must submit their online proposals by 4:00 p. m. on September 30, 2025.

The evaluation process will involve the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, which will review proposals based on the City Council's established goals. The committee's recommendations will be sent to the City Council for final approval, anticipated in December 2025. The program aims to benefit local businesses, including hotels and restaurants, by increasing tourism. This initiative underscores the city's commitment to fostering economic growth through tourism-related activities.
