In an effort to mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our local businesses and economy, the Brady Economic Development Corporation is making cash relief grants available. These grants will help local businesses retain the employees and resources needed to survive during these trying times. The grants will be made available pending final approval of the Brady EDC Board of Directors and the City of Brady City Council. Grants will be provided only to businesses within the city limits of the City of Brady that provide the following three (3) documents and information to the Brady EDC on or before July 8, 2020.
STEP ONE: Please do not call our office. We are anticipating a high number of requests for relief, so please email the following records to ecorbell@bradytx.us:
1. Tax Office 2019 ad valorem tax receipt for payment of 2019 City of Brady personal property taxes.
2. Texas Comptroller of Public Account’s sales tax receipt for the month of February 2020 (www.comptroller.texas.gov).
3. Texas Workforce Commission’s Unemployment Tax Services Employer’s Quarterly Report filed January 2020 for reporting period October-December 2019 (or any other TWC employer report located at www.twc.texas.gov).
STEP TWO: Upon our receipt of the three (3) documents, you will be emailed a set of vendor request and payment forms, along with a performance agreement, from Erin Corbell. Please complete, scan and email back to ecorbell@bradytx.us. The forms are necessary for the City of Brady and the EDC to process your grant payment either via check or direct deposit. Please return these fully executed forms within 1-2 days of receipt.
STEP THREE: The EDC Board will meet to discuss, vote and approve the grant distributions on July 9, 2020. Once approved, the grant payments should be delivered within thirty (30) days.
DISCLAIMER: Relief grants are not guaranteed. All relief grant distributions and programs must be approved by the EDC governing body before being issued. The EDC does not provide any advice as to whether applying for and receiving relief funds affects any other grants or federal and state COVID-19 relief funds.
