MONCKS CORNER, SC – Berkeley County Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee Chairman Jim Rozier announced Wednesday that requests for funding from the Special Accommodations Tax Committee are now being accepted for the next fiscal year.

“Berkeley County is not only a great place to live, it is also a great place for tourists to visit,” said Rozier. “The Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee is excited to accept requests to increase tourism throughout Berkeley County.”

Requests for funding should include the name of the person or organization submitting the request; phone number(s), email address and mailing address of the submitter.

The submitter is also asked to include the dollar amount of the request, planned purpose for the requested funds and the outcome goal for using the funds.

While there is no maximum amount to submit as a request, there is a maximum amount of money to be divided and spent by the County. Historically, $500,000 is the total amount distributed in a normal year.

Requests will be accepted through Thursday, June 30th in person or by mail to:

Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee

c/o Clerk of Council Cathi Windham

1003 Highway 52

Moncks Corner, SC 29461

At the close of the requests period, the Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee will review requests and prepare and present its advisory opinion to County Council for final approval.

Should the public have any questions about submitting requests, they are advised to call Jim Rozier at 843-729-5608.
