This year they decided how to best allocate $300,000 in lodging tax revenue for 2017 to various organizations which promote tourism in the county, particularly ones which gener- ate overnight visits and which can benefit the whole county. The recommendations will now be passed along to the Board of County Commissioners who can approve or reject them but cannot alter the dollar amounts. For 2016, the commissioners approved $231,000 of a total $281,000 budget. Nineteen grant finalists were selected to receive funding, with the Discover Packwood visitor’s center receiving the most with a $60,000 recommendation, only $4,000 below its maximum ask- ing price.
