The City of Cumberland has opened the application period for local non-profit groups to submit requests for portions of the Hotel/Motel Tax.  Awards from the tax are granted annually through the Mayor and City Council based on merit.  The grants are made possible through Hotel/Motel tax collections through Allegany County’s lodging partners and designed to enhance tourism, increase overnight stays and visitor spending.  Applications and details are on the City of Cumberland website at www.cumberlandmd.gov
