Small businesses are the backbone of local economies across the nation. In the state of Texas, Governor Greg Abbott wants to give small businesses a big boost with $100,000 in grants.
$100,000 in grants
The Governor's office and the Texas Workforce Commission partnered in their resolve to support small businesses in under served markets. They have set aside $100,000 in grants as part of the Governor's Small Business Service Provider Grant Program.
Some businesses who have already received grants are using the money to develop training programs in the manufacturing industry. Others have used the money to create workshops in Spanish and to organize educational seminars.
