Approve Business Improvement Grant (BIG Grant) in an amount not to exceed $15,000.
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 Georgia Meyer Barzilay for her property located at 811 6th Street North. The applicant is requesting assistance to repaint the building and resurface the roof.
Per the attached estimates, the total cost of these repairs is estimated to be $19,748.40. If the EDC chooses to reimburse at 50%, the total amount of the grant would be $9,874.20. Funds are available in the City of Texas City’s FY2024-25 annual budget from the Texas City Economic Development Corporation, Fund 801.
