Phase Two:
The second phase of our Business Empowerment Program focuses on expansion and retention. We work with businesses to generate ideas, prototype strategies, and implement successful operations. An emphasis is placed on networking and strategic partnerships with organizations such as the Small Business Administration.
The Alamo Economic Development Corporation receives funding through two loans from the USDA-Rural Development Program. The first loan is through the Rural Business Enterprise Grant (RBEG) Program, which is designed to provide access to capital for rural businesses and startups. Through this revolving loan fund program, we will supplement and assist small businesses and startups through expansion and create jobs through lending to add new or existing business activities.
Our business empowerment program is an excellent opportunity for businesses to obtain certifications to enable growth in providing goods or services to the public sector, including:
- 8A Certification
- Corporate Certification
- HUB certification program
- UTPA Procurement Technical Assistance Center (for certification as a minority-owned or woman-owned business).
Phase Three:
Working with local higher education institutions, including The University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) and South Texas College, is essential to our empowerment initiative. These partnerships ensure the development of a strong, educated workforce and support our efforts to ensure a strong, educated workforce.
