Business Grant Program

Program Purpose and Overview

The Burnet Economic Development Corporation (BEDC), in partnership with the Burnet Community Coalition and the Burnet Chamber of Commerce, has launched a Business Grant Program (BGP) to support local commercial property owners and tenants. The BGP will help to improve visual appeal and support and incentivize improvements to the external appearance and signage of commercial properties, reinforcing Burnet's historic charm and enhancing commercial corridors.

This program is a 90/10 matching grant program, with a maximum reimbursement of $10,000 per property, per calendar year. A larger grant amount may be considered at the discretion of the BEDC Board of Directors, based on the project’s impact on the community.

The applicant is responsible for 10% of the total project cost. The BEDC Grant Review Committee or Board of Directors may waive the 10% matching requirement if the project is performed entirely by vendors and contractors located within the City limits of Burnet or for other reasons deemed appropriate.

All projects must be approved prior to beginning work.

The Business Grant Program is an annually recurring program, subject to budgetary appropriations by the BEDC Board of Directors and the City of Burnet City Council.
