HOT funds give Buda businesses a break in ad costs

In an effort to attract new customers to historic downtown, Buda is offering a 50 percent co-marketing reimbursement grant for some Buda businesses to pay for advertising.

Maggie Gillespie, Buda Main Street coordinator, said the grant would cover half of the cost of a downtown business’s ad in magazines, newspapers, television or social media.

“The grant was created to promote and market historic downtown Buda businesses,” Gillespie said.
