Clackamas County Tourism - Community Partnership Program
The City of Wilsonville is also accepting grant applications for local projects that have an ability to increase tourism activity. In partnership with Oregon's Mt. Hood Territory, up to $15,000 is available.
Qualifying projects are those that demonstrate an ability to: 1) increase overnight stays in lodging facilities, 2) bring visitors into a community from more than 50 miles away to recreate, shop, dine or take in the arts, cultural or historic offerings, and/or 3) entice visitors to linger longer in a community within Clackamas County. The most competitive projects are those that offer the greatest potential to increase tourism* activity within the communities they are seeking funding.
Funding for the Clackamas County Tourism-Community Partnership Program (CPP) grants comes from the County’s 6% transient room tax paid by overnight lodging visitors.
**Eligible projects must take place within Clackamas County**
