The Chamber’s goal in providing Garland small businesses with grant funding is to encourage sustainable growth among our vibrant small business community and to recognize individual business owners who through their own determination and success contribute to the sustainability of the Garland economy as a whole. Chamber CEO, Paul Mayer, is excited about what the grant funding will do for the community.
“We recognize that more than 95 percent of our 9,000 companies are small and collectively account for a huge part of the tax base and employment in Garland,” Mayer said. “Our goal with the grants is to identify and recognize companies that demonstrate the willingness and ability to grow and provide a model for success that others will follow.”
Small-business owners will soon purchase equipment, launch marketing campaigns, and hire services according to the needs outlined in their applications. The Chamber will work alongside each recipient to ensure they have access to all the resources they need to meet their goals along the way.
