Still Budaful 2.0 is on its way to bring Buda businesses a second wave of loans and grants and, this time, the regulations are more inclusive.
The new phase will grant a total of $250,000 and also opens a loan opportunity totaling $100,000. Combining
the money allocated from the first and second phase, the city of Buda will have granted its businesses $730,000. Funding will be different this time; Buda’s small business task force decided to pull back some regulations, allowing more businesses to apply. Unlike the grants, which are restricted to businesses within the city limits, the loans portion is expanded to businesses in the ETJ.
Traci Anderson, director of the Buda Economic Developments Corporation, said the task force is trying to encompass a lot of businesses not included in the first round.
