Bingen City Hall.
Columbia Gorge News file photoBINGEN — City council reviewed grant fund applications during their Nov. 3 meeting.
Bingen collects a 2% lodging tax and uses the funds to award grants that support tourism, totaling $56,500 for the current cycle.
The applicants were the Mt. Adams’ Chamber of Commerce’s Northshore Community Foundation for several events, the Huckleberry Fest, and the Root Stock Festival. One applicant, the city itself, was awarded its full ask of $1,250 for Huckleberry Festival Parade overtime for traffic safety services.
Other applicants received partial grants, namely $3,000 for the Root Stock Festival; $5,000 for the North Shore Community Foundation to support the Concrete and Canvas event; $3,000 for its Sleighbells on Steuben event; $8,000 for the Huckleberry Festival; and $36,250 for the Mt. Adams Chamber of Commerce to support tourism marketing.
The council opted not to allocate funds for the chamber’s self-guided tour app.
