The Fremont County Tourism Council is accepting applications from community organizations for 2009 tourism funding allocations. Community organizations and non-profit groups that conduct special events which attract tourists and visitors to the area are invited to submit applications for funding assistance. The Tourism Council by-laws require that at least five percent of Fremont County lodging tax revenues each year be distributed to community groups to support their special events. The total amount of money to be distributed will be determined by the Tourism Council as part of their 2009 budget adoption in December. Because lodging tax revenues have declined in 2008 the Tourism Council reports that the amount of money available for distribution is expected to below levels of a year ago.
