WILMINGTON A change in some form could be coming regarding local organizations applying for the city’s Hotel Lodging Tax funds.
At Thursday’s Wilmington City Council meeting, council held the first reading of an ordinance amending the application for the funds.
Judiciary Committee Chair Matt Purkey told council it would update the application process. Purkey advised that he and Councilmember Michael Snarr discussed the idea of helping disseminate those funds to local nonprofit groups in need of the money due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors.
