New Jacksboro EDC Project Underway

TGB Group called back in to help client secure a grant

Jacksboro EDC projectIn 2017, TGB Group was selected by the Jacksboro Economic Development Corporation to provide a master plan for an industrial park as part of a large Jacksboro EDC project. The corporation was applying for a grant through the Economic Development Agency in hopes of being selected and receiving funds to bring the project to fruition.

Part of the initial phase 1 plan included adding:

  • A water main
  • A sanitary sewer
  • Two streets off Hwy. 59

At that time, the Economic Development Agency did not award the grant, so the project was suspended.

New hope for the Jacksboro EDC project grant

Move ahead to December 2021, and the EDC’s new executive director reached back out to TGB Group to assist them once again in their pursuit of an EDA grant.

This time, the grant was coming through funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. The Act was signed by President Biden for a whopping $1.9 trillion on March 11, 2021.

Included in the Plan is $350 billion in emergency funding for state, local and territorial and tribal governments known as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery funds.

We’ll supply an engineering report and environmental narrative

For this phase of the Jacksboro EDC project, TGB Group was asked for assistance in developing a preliminary engineering report and an environmental narrative, both of which were required to be submitted with the grant application.

We were excited to help the Jacksboro EDC, and we’re hoping with fingers crossed that they’ll be selected to receive the grant, which will be decided sometime after the first of February 2022.
