EDC packet reposted: 15 pages instead of 31, and it adds a $60,000 grant budget line
The city replaced the Nov. 10 Aledo Economic Development Corporation packet on CivicClerk Saturday, Nov. 7, at 8:05 p.m. The new file (3310) is 15 pages; Friday's version (file 3309) was 31 and is no longer listed. The agenda items are unchanged. The Williams Trew memo still recommends no more than $4,167.63, half of the $8,335.25 sign project at 705 FM 1187 S, and now adds that the FY 2027 AEDC budget includes $60,000 for Aledo Community Enhancement grants. The revised packet drops the lease document that Friday's version listed as an attachment to the application.
What you can do. The meeting is 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Aledo Municipal Complex, 200 Old Annetta Road; citizen appearances open the meeting.
