2024 Tourism Development Grant Program

The County of Lehigh is currently requesting applications for its 2024 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 improve facilities, are regional in nature, and have the potential to draw a significant amount of people. Capital projects (but not general maintenance) which will promote tourism, events or conventions are also acceptable.

All applicants shall read the 2023 Tourism Development Cover Letter and Program Guidelines prior to initiating the application process, as well as Ordinance 2017-131 as it relates to receiving Lehigh County grants.

Requests must be received on or before Friday, April 28, 2023,  at 4:00 p.m..
