decrease in tourism. 2020 grant recipients were asked to make any reductions with the understanding that
any reduction would be earmarked for potential use to promote Jefferson County in 2021, contingent on a
recommendation by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee to award those funds in 2021 and approval by the
Board of County Commissioners.
RECOMMENDATION:
