A & P Commission

The Advertising and Promotion Commission was established in 2018. The purpose of the Commission is to manage the advertising and promotions fund supported by the tax levy on accommodations, which is a 2% tax on the gross proceeds from rental accommodations (commonly known as a “hotel tax”), and all prepared food and beverages tax (2%). The fund is used to encourage tourism to Lowell.

The Advertising and Promotions (A & P) Commission meets on the 4th Tuesday of every month at 6:00pm. These meeting will take place in the Lowell City Council Chambers unless otherwise notified.
