HOT FUNDS WORKSHOP TO BE HELD IN BRENHAM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

  

Several Washington County organizations requesting funding will be attending a meeting in Brenham this (Wednesday) afternoon.

A Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) funding meeting will take place at 2 p.m. in the Washington County Annex Building.

These funds have been a hotly debated topic county-wide, after the City of Brenham announced in July it would take tourism responsibilities in-house.

Recently, county commissioners met with Brenham Chief Financial Officer Carolyn Miller to discuss the funds, as well as an inter-local agreement between the city and the county.

The workshop could potentially detail a new agreement, as well as how HOT funds will be used in the future.  This includes how the new organizational structure will look, whether that be a Tourism Board, a HOT Board, or both.

People are invited to come and hear first-hand from the requesting organizations, regarding HOT funds and their allocation.
