The County of Lehigh is seeking applications from non-profit organizations, political subdivisions, or municipal authorities for the 2026 Tourism Development Grant program.
The main goals of this grant are to assist organizations which are promoting tourism on a regional level and which encourage visitors to plan overnight stays in our local hotels. Tourism Development Grants may be awarded for projects occurring in Lehigh County that encourage substantially large events or which improve facilities, are regional in nature, and which have the potential to draw significant numbers of people. Capital projects (but not general maintenance) which will promote tourism, events, or conventions are also acceptable.
Prior to applying, please read the 2026 Tourism Development Grant cover letter, 2026 Tourism Development Grant Application Guidelines, and Ordinance 2017-131 to become familiar with the grant's requirements.
2026 Tourism Development Grant Applications must be received on or before Friday, May 23, 2025. The application is fillable but must be saved prior to emailing to lccommdev@lehighcounty.org. Please note: The blank W-9 form included in the application is NOT a fillable document.
