BELTON, TX — Central Texas Council of Governments will receive a federal grant totaling $400,000 to update pandemic recovery and resiliency strategies, provide technical assistance to member organizations, and to support the growth of regional tourism to aid businesses and communities, U.S. Senator John Cornyn announced.
This grant will be used to support local redevelopment and revitalization in the region and to assist communities in responding to the coronavirus pandemic. The funding comes through the Economic Development Administration as a part of the CARES Act which Sen. Cornyn supported in March.
“As the coronavirus outbreak disrupts our way of life, it is critical that we take active measures to ensure that struggling Texas businesses can weather the storm,” said Senator John Cornyn. “I’ll continue to do everything I can to help small businesses in Belton bounce back amid this pandemic.”
