Equip Harlingen grant program now accepting applications! Start Here.
The City of Harlingen and the Development Corporation of Harlingen, Inc. (“HEDC”) would like to encourage new and/or existing commercial enterprises to locate or expand in Harlingen. Retail activity along the US – Mexico border is a basic economic driver which attracts, promotes, develops, and supports new commercial facilities and job growth and retention in the greater Harlingen Area.
Some of these new and/or retained retail enterprises may qualify for assistance from HEDC based on the number and types of jobs newly-created or retained and the type of commercial entity. Applicants’ commercial operations must qualify under the provisions of the Development Corporation Act (“Act”). Developers may apply on behalf of their tenants/retailers, but are not eligible to be the recipient of the grants without the full knowledge and consent of the retailer and approval from the HEDC Board and City Commission.
