ACTION ALERT: Tourism Improvement Districts (TID)
TID legislation (HSB 734) is scheduled to be considered by the House Ways & Means Committee on Wednesday, March 11 at 1 PM. Continued outreach from Iowa’s tourism industry is important as the bill moves through the legislative process.
- How you can help:
- Contact members of the House Ways & Means Committee and share why TID legislation is important to your destination, business, or community.
- Share real examples of how the supplemental funding from a Tourism Improvement District could benefit your community.
If you plan to attend next week’s Capitol Visit, arriving a little before the 1 PM committee meeting is also a great way to show visible support for the legislation.
Every voice helps reinforce the importance of keeping Iowa competitive in tourism.
