The City of Enterprise offers two grant programs:
Hotel/Motel Tax Funding: Community - Economic - Tourism related activities. The City of Enterprise is offering grant funds for the purpose of increasing tourism and enhancing the quality of life for residents and business owners in the City of Enterprise. The objective is to help organizations and
agencies undertake activities that would not be considered without special funding. The “CETRA” program is designed to assist in establishing activities and events which because of their own merit, can eventually grow and succeed without financial assistance from this program.
The City of Enterprise Hotel/Motel Tax Fund was established to improve the quality of life for its residents, business operators and visitors. The City of Enterprise generates funds from a County-Wide Motel Tax of 5%; and a City Motel Tax of 5%. A portion of these funds are invested back into the community through designated projects and events that will enhance visitor appeal and encourage overnight stays. Grant requests must reflect one or more of the areas shown below:
- Beautification of Public Property (i.e. benches, bike racks, sign-age, planters, event equipment, etc.)
- Enhancement of Enterprise’s Historical Downtown (i.e. sign-age, marketing)
- Special Events
- Tourism Promotion & Tourism Related Facilities
- Other projects that will enhance Enterprise
