The Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee was established in 2005 to make recommendations to City Council on the expenditure of revenue generated by the State Accommodations Tax as required by South Carolina Code 6-4-25 Sect. 3.
The purpose of the Committee is to recommend eligible non-profit organizations demonstrating existing or ongoing tourism promotion programs to be deemed recipients of Accommodations Tax Funds; establish and implement procedures by which such organizations and their programs can submit requests for consideration and be reviewed in a timely, orderly fashion; ensure that maximum benefit for tourism related activities is achieved for the City of Walterboro.
The Committee is scheduled to meet at 10:00 a.m. in Council Chambers on the third Thursday in February, June, and October. Schedule is subject to change and each application request and meeting is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area. Applicants are welcome to attend the open meeting however they do not need to be present to receive funding. |
