Lodging Tax Grant Program
The City of Richland collects funds from a tax on hotels and motels within the city. State law strictly defines how these funds can be used: primarily for tourism promotion, acquisition, or operation of tourism-related facilities.
Each year, funds are award by the City Council through a competitive grant process.
