Response 5: Please explain what plans exist to allow this project to become self-sustaining. Include any plans for ticket sales, <br />event sponsors, and other cost-recovery models.* <br />The RDA is committed to supporting events and activities in and around Roslyn through marketing, advertising, community <br />outreach, engagement, talent fees, and more—all while maintaining reasonable costs. Our goal is to enhance our existing <br />events, programs, and community/city projects by broadening their appeal and increasing attendance from visitors outside the <br />area. Ultimately, this contributes to the financial success of Roslyn’s local businesses. <br />The RDA actively seeks minimum sponsorships, applies for grants such as CLTAC, and benefits from B&O tax credits available <br />to Main Street communities. Now and into the future, we aim to foster greater engagement and attract diverse funding <br />resources, driving economic stimulation in Roslyn and County. <br />Through collaboration and strategic foresight, we are committed to ensuring that Roslyn and Kittitas County remain vibrant and <br />welcoming destinations. <br />2500 character limit <br />Application Questions: Part 4 <br />6| Additional Information <br />Response 6.1: Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your <br />project and its benefit to tourism. <br />In 2025, the RDA continues to bring innovative ideas to enrich visitors’ experiences. From our popular annual video series to the <br />notable achievement of the Yakama Nation’s Creator Law Sculpture as a top tourist destination, we are making a significant <br />impact. <br />The revitalization of the gazebo and our support for key community capital improvements, including projects like the Coal Mine <br />Trail, demonstrate our ongoing commitment. This year, we contracted and designed two custom picnic tables, nine custom bike <br />racks, and two cornhole sets, a $32,000 capital investment that further enriches the tourism experience in our town. Additionally, <br />our third video series about the Yakama Nation’s Creator’s Law has been a great success, and our fourth video series, set to be <br />released in early November, highlights the historic Number 9 Mine site—shedding light on Roslyn’s rich mining history and its <br />transformation into today’s Swiftwater Cellars Winery. <br />The RDA is dedicated to enhancing Roslyn’s historic appeal, which helps expand our marketing efforts in driving tourism to <br />Roslyn and throughout Kittitas County. <br />2500 character limit <br />Response 6.2: You may upload any supporting documents such as graphs, images, diagrams, marketing materials, etc. <br />You are allowed to submit up to 3 single page (US Letter) documents in JPG, PDF or TIFF format <br />Newsletter_1_2025 year in review 2024_ RDA (1).pdf 852.04KB <br />Support Roslyn's Businesses .jpg 574.46KB <br />Old Town Christmas.jpg 384.4KB <br />7| Previous Lodging Tax Grant Information <br />Response 7.1: Has your event received Lodging Tax funds in previous years?* <br />No, this event/project has not previously received Lodging Tax Funding <br />Yes, 1 year previous <br />Yes, 2 years previous <br />Yes, 3 years previous <br />Yes, 4 or more years previous <br />Response 7.2: Overall Attendance * <br />Past Actual *Projected * <br />9,100 12,000 <br />Response 7.3: Number of people travelling more than 50 miles for your event?* <br />Past Actual *Projected *
