Texas Border Business
Mission EDC will be presenting a $25,000 check to the historic Border Theatre, one of six winners of Mission EDC’s Downtown Assistance Program, September 6th.
Through the small business program, Mission EDC is injecting $150,000 to revitalize the city’s downtown area. Businesses located along Conway Avenue were invited to apply for $25,000 grants to help fund operational, improvement, façade, and revitalization projects.
Out of the 27 businesses that applied, six were chosen as recipients: the Border Theatre, Ana Liz Taqueria, Drunken Chicken, Little Joe’s Barber Shop, The Hook Up Barber University, and Baldo’s Tires.
Mission EDC will mark the inaugural program with an award celebration at the theater, located at 905 N. Conway Avenue, at 10 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 6.
The Border Theatre, which opened on November 15, 1942, symbolizes the resilience of small businesses in Mission, standing strong for 81 years and remaining a cherished landmark despite changes in the business landscape.
Join us to learn how this small business and others will use Mission EDC’s funding to attract visitors to the heart of the city’s historic downtown.
