Rio Grande City EDC Small Business Grant - a resounding success

The Rio Grande City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) announces the success of its Small Business Boost Grant, which provided support for ten small businesses in Rio Grande City. Through this initiative, qualifying businesses received funding to invest in essential resources, such as equipment purchases to improve operations, marketing strategies to reach more customers, and expansion efforts to grow their businesses and enhance economic growth in the city.

“We are delighted with the positive response to the Small Business Boost Grant program,” said Dalinda Guillen, Rio Grande City EDC Board of Directors President. “Small businesses are the backbone of our community, and this grant is just one way we are committed to helping them succeed.”

This was a one-time grant of $2,500 to small businesses in Rio Grande City with annual revenues under $100,000. Ten grants were disbursed.

The success of this program has prompted the EDC to plan a future round of funding. More details will be announced soon, providing additional opportunities for local businesses to benefit from this initiative.
