FEDC will not consider applications for matching grant funding after the project has been started or completed. FEDC will not consider remodeling costs or expenses not associated with façade and/or signage projects. The FEDC Board has sole discretion to determine which projects are approved. Grants will be limited to one per business owner or entity no sooner than every 5 years. Currently, the budget for this line item is set at an annual maximum of $30,000.00 with an individual limit of up to but not guaranteed $7,500.00 per approved application and completed project. Highest priority will be given to business façade and/or signage projects that offer the most improved visual effects for the business community.įunding of this grant program is entirely dependent upon the annual FEDC approved budget and may change from year to year. The FEDC makes available to businesses within the city limits of Floresville an opportunity to apply for a façade and/or signage grant according to criteria established and enforced by its Board of Directors. Therefore, a clarification of the policy will be in effect, upon approval of the FEDC Board of Directors, July 14, 2015. In recent months, it has become necessary to clarify the policy and the procedure. The Board had sole discretion in the decision as to the awarding of the matching grant and the amount to be awarded. A simple policy and application were developed at that time requiring the local business owner to present in person to the Board of Directors the scope and body of work intended, valid estimates of the cost of the project, and a projected timeline for completion prior to the start of the actual project. Projects approved by the FEDC Board were matched by a to‐be‐determined percentage not to exceed a 50% match by the FEDC for each dollar the applicant spent on the project with a maximum (but not guaranteed) match of up to $7,500 per project. A maximum of $30,000.00 was budgeted at that time as an annual line item for this purpose.

The Floresville Economic Development Corporation (FEDC) decided in 2013‐2014 to develop a costsharing policy (matching grant) for façade and/or signage grants to local businesses operating within the city limits of Floresville.

This in no way obligates the EDC to such a policy. It is within the scope of an economic development corporation’s (EDC) body of work to consider requests for financial assistance from a local business for façade or signage improvements to their building or property.
