A motion to sponsor Angels of Love's youth programs for $500 prevailed after a presentation by Katie, a victim advocate with the nonprofit. Katie described programs for girls (ages 5'9 and 10'12), a 'distinguished gentleman' program for boys that teaches values and conflict resolution, and year-round teen-dating-education presentations for middle and high school students. She said the nonprofit partners with the Boys and Girls Club so enrolled children automatically receive programming and that others may attend weeklong sessions open to the community.

The board then approved a sponsorship of $1,000 for the third annual 5K, scheduled for Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 7 a.m. The director told the board the event has been sponsored by the city/EDC in prior years. A board member moved to approve $1,000 for the event and members voted in favor.

Separately, the board approved a $1,000 mini-grant to a small business (referred to in the meeting as Rocking Grid). Staff said the applicant submitted the required documentation for an EDC promotional grant: a certificate of completion for business-development training from UTRGV, two-year financial projections and three vendor quotes. A board member moved to approve the $1,000 grant; the motion passed.

The meeting also ratified routine consent items and minutes for prior meetings. The EDC convened an executive session under the Texas Open Meetings Act and Texas Government Code provisions cited in the meeting for consultation with legal counsel and deliberation regarding economic-development negotiations; after the executive session the board made motions and approved items 'as discussed in executive session.' The transcript does not disclose the substance of those executive-session deliberations.

The sponsorships and grants approved at the May 6 meeting are intended to support local youth programming, community events and small-business development.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Juan EDC Board Meeting, May 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The San Juan Economic Development Corporation approved sponsorships and small grants at its May 6 meeting, including a $500 sponsorship for Angels of Love youth programs, a $1,000 sponsorship for a May 10 5K, and a $1,000 mini-grant to a small business applicant that submitted required documents.","taxTitle","San Juan, Hidalgo County, Texas","taxId",53132,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6247143,"San Juan EDC unveils new website and GIS property map, plans business workshop and revitalization update",368,437000,805000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3213349-f5a90093f3d2bec66a843d754c8f21a3&start=437&end=805","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3213349-f5a90093f3d2bec66a843d754c8f21a3/thumbnail_437000.jpg","/articles/6247143/San-Juan/Hidalgo-County/Texas/San-Juan-EDC-unveils-new-website-and-GIS-property-map-plans-business-workshop-and-revitalization-update","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247143-d1c0a375a9fd0bb72220430327454d9c/orig.mp4?Expires=1776721227&Signature=kDJNL1vUGeUDbo1vRfTW-~L3lTt82Ginp6RgjmNCwu~KFiDJIux14kfFeBi5ZdOTCBwjglLr~FoJNSNrcr4x0UESbQNvRgw0OdtPy3vg6xhMK63Vy4NPRClkHt~6X028L-~wkfIhgr6pPa4deHa9tmhk7bI4ab7D34icPMxz4zuUAnVuEL9yn~5EO2iW40JM00MrckhFoXJfdf13IAh0x-JxrYnPo0fMtWKgFIOok7m1m23VeE2Tb5CancWt8R64OJbgkI88Ivg-54WhwqieZZYV8kWwOCn5Ue7COYKe~bb7hG2M6c9r0hHjdOY1UUj5SJv-1I1mChfSlGKF96j~Rg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Juan Economic Development Corporation on May 6 presented a redesigned EDC website and an interactive GIS map of available commercial property and said it will host workshops for local business owners.

EDC staff described the new site as a one-stop dashboard that highlights the city's strategic location and lists properties for sale or lease with photos, building and land square footage, listing price and a downloadable PDF of the broker's listing. Staff said the map carries a disclaimer that it is not an engineered design or a substitute for a survey.

The director said prospective tenants may click a 'contact city agent' link and must complete every field on a survey; email notifications of inquiries are routed to 'Miss Lauren, Martha, and myself.' The director said staff tested the contact function and received inquiry emails.

Board members praised the site as a substantial improvement over the prior online presence. One board member said the site will assist outreach at industry trade events, noting, 'Going to ICSC, I think that's a valuable tool because now you can just direct them to that kind of website.' Staff said the dashboard can also report where inquiries originate, which the EDC said would help target outreach to out-of-state investors.

On outreach, staff said the EDC will host a business-owner workshop; the meeting noted a scheduled session set for noon to 2 p.m. and board members asked staff to consider an alternate evening time to increase participation by people who work during the day. Staff reported that more than 200 flyers were hand-delivered in advance of the workshop.

The director also reported a meeting with EO Architects on a downtown revitalization project and said the EDC will provide a fuller update after the session.

No formal votes were taken on the website, map or workshop scheduling at the May 6 meeting; staff will follow up with a post-session update on the revitalization project and any scheduling changes for workshops.","At its May 6 meeting the San Juan Economic Development Corporation previewed a redesigned website with an interactive GIS real-estate map to attract investors, said it will host a business workshop, and noted a forthcoming update on a downtown revitalization project.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6247148,"San Juan EDC discusses leasing former City Hall restaurant space, flags food-service limits",129,87000,216000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3213349-f5a90093f3d2bec66a843d754c8f21a3&start=87&end=216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3213349-f5a90093f3d2bec66a843d754c8f21a3/thumbnail_87000.jpg","/articles/6247148/San-Juan/Hidalgo-County/Texas/San-Juan-EDC-discusses-leasing-former-City-Hall-restaurant-space-flags-food-service-limits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247148-44f5a6776c3f3094f254d580d9d5b49b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776721227&Signature=cE1OoUoR4q2LCDtpu2pFugmbdIKYuRahPWnrmHUb0KfUp7uI1vfef3cKQZkgQIMyxLX0tfvZemwhZHm84lN9cx77DUbn~4PUh7nl4eqlWseDi-ooXYy-c6kcLkEy8K4tBIiFYrAnF1KWzuzwGtuz~S9411zT~VFlyNaZMiizaFp3GYja4xRpF1dsAec0IXQtk5l8NvufCYlqrXCG6y2NJtCyzfo~F6HritoCvStQps2j4PIeS7EEMjvDuy~uAQF~X5OT9sUYZLUawK74WjwWf5Je2xr5NTlrp4j~aAjnTY8fqHKArkbuDtw4L~Jb62KTcrLsBVJiw2LGpdovF6DqgA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Juan Economic Development Corporation on May 6 discussed plans to market the former restaurant space on the first floor of City Hall and the constraints any new tenant would face.

EDC Director (unnamed) said staff is “waiting for the detailed details of the previous restaurant to be removed so that IT can go in there, probably tomorrow or or Thursday, do a new video and new pictures. That way, we can edit the property.” That work will precede formal marketing of the space.

The director and board members discussed what kinds of food-service businesses the space could support. The director said the space was “designed for hot foods” and previously supported food kept warm, but “no grease. No actual cooking.” The director said any prospective tenant would need to negotiate responsibilities and secure approval from the sanitation department before offering prepared food.

Board members urged staff to consider tenant types likely to be successful in the location. Suggestions included coffee, sandwiches, a grab-and-go deli or bakery; staff emphasized the need to match offerings to local demand and to the facility’s equipment and sanitation limits.

The board did not take a final vote on leasing terms at the meeting. Staff indicated it will return with photos and marketing materials after the prior tenant’s fixtures are removed and IT produces the planned video and pictures.

The matter remains under active staff work; no lease was approved at the May 6 meeting.","At its May 6 meeting the San Juan Economic Development Corporation discussed marketing the first-floor City Hall restaurant space, awaiting removal of the prior tenant's fixtures and noting restrictions on cooking that may limit tenant options.","actionData","errors"]
