The Borger City Council on June 1 approved Resolution R-001-26 to authorize a corridor revitalization agreement for a property at 8th and Main, a site that includes a Quonset hut and storage buildings adjacent to Jalisco's restaurant.
Council discussion described the Economic Development Corporation's (EDC) Corridor Revitalization grant program, which targets major corridors such as Main Street. Speaker 3 said the grant is aimed at improving the site's Main Street-facing appearance by covering concrete work, fencing and EIFS (artificial stucco) on the front face; the EDC board set a maximum reimbursement of $110,000 and the grant covers 50% of eligible costs. The agreement is structured as a reimbursement, meaning the property owner must incur expenses before receiving the grant payment.
Speaker 3 said the property owner, MJZA Holding LLC (owned by Matt Armstrong), is working with Refinishing Systems LLC to expand operations that now include trailer repairs and inspections. The proposed work could include demolishing the storage buildings and adding a new building to move more of the work indoors, improving the corridor's appearance; council members suggested the Main Street-facing EIFS could host a mural tied to the city's centennial projects.
Unidentified Speaker 5 moved to approve Resolution R-001-26 authorizing a corridor revitalization agreement between the Borger Economic Development Corporation, MJZA Holding LLC, and Refinishing Systems LLC; Unidentified Speaker 3 seconded the motion and the presiding official called the vote, which passed.
The resolution passed on voice vote at the meeting; no roll-call tally was included in the transcript. The council then considered adjournment and formally adjourned the session.
