Giddings approves $30,000 GEDC grant for Fuego Latino gastropub in downtown
Summary
The City Council approved a $30,000 program expenditure through the Giddings Economic Development Corporation to support the Fuego Latino Gastropub's startup/expansion in downtown Giddings. The minutes show inconsistent resolution numbering between first and second readings; the amount and approval are recorded.
The Giddings City Council approved a $30,000 economic development grant to support the Fuego Latino Gastropub’s planned downtown location.
GEDC Director Lori Diez presented the item, telling council the Economic Development Corporation board had approved a business startup/expansion grant to help the restaurant open in a vacant downtown building next to Rowdy Ranch. The item was introduced on first reading (listed in the minutes as Resolution No. 634-2026) with no action taken at that time. On second and final reading the minutes record adoption of the resolution (the second-reading line shows Resolution No. 634-2025). The $30,000 program expenditure and the council’s recorded approval appear in the meeting record.
The minutes do not include specific grant terms, performance conditions, or a disbursement schedule; the GEDC presentation noted the applicant purchased the vacant restaurant building and that repairs to an alternative building across the street made that location impractical.
