The U.S. Department of Agriculture will grant $175,000 to fund the Kleberg County Business Incubator.
The grant is being funded through a Rural Business Development Grant.
“Working together with community leaders, our federal-local partnership allowed us to secure additional development grant funding, which builds on the $4.3 million EDA grant awarded last year,” U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela (D-Brownsville) said in a press release. “I commend County Judge Rudy Madrid and his staff for expanding the services offered at the Kleberg Regional Public Safety Training Center and Emergency Command Center. I look forward to seeing how businesses in Kleberg County and surrounding South Texas communities benefit from this project.”
Madrid thanked Vela for his “first-hand” endorsement.
"These funds will provide the necessary equipment needed to outfit our Upcoming Business Incubator Resource Facility that Kleberg County will be constructing this upcoming year at the JK Northway Coliseum," Madrid said. "Words cannot express how proud I am of our Kleberg County Team and Vela’s continued support and dedication.”
