ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Approve Business Improvement Grant (BIG Grant) in an amount of $5,290.72.
BACKGROUND
In October 2023, the Texas City Economic Development Corporation established the Business Improvement Grant (BIG Grant) to assist local businesses with a range of improvements. Staff has received a completed application from Kingdom Wings for property located at 2828 Texas Avenue. The applicant is requesting assistance with the addition of a cover for their existing patio deck.
The total cost of the proposed exterior renovations is $10,581.44. This amount differs from the amount on the application due to a manufacturer discount. A 50% match for this project would amount to $5,290.72. Of note: In speaking with Planning and Engineering, this cover would necessitate a WPI-1 permit to verify windstorm requirements. Therefore, distribution of this funding would be contingent upon the applicant completing that process.
Funds are available in the City of Texas City’s FY2025-26 annual budget from the Texas City Economic Development Corporation, Fund 801.
