Council authorizes continued office space for Tarleton State SBDC through August 2028

City Council of the City of Brownwood, Texas · July 14, 2026

Summary

The Brownwood City Council authorized the City Manager to extend an interlocal agreement providing office space and common-area access in the Harvey House to Tarleton State University's Small Business Development Center through August 2028; the motion passed unanimously.

The Brownwood City Council on July 14 authorized an amendment to the interlocal agreement with Tarleton State University to continue providing office space and access to common areas in the Harvey House for the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) through August 2028.

Deputy City Manager Ray Tipton told the council that "The SBDC has been a valuable partner to the Brownwood Municipal Development District, Chamber of Commerce, City, and local business community." He said the center provides no-cost services including business consulting, plan development, workshops and training, and that increased demand prompted the SBDC to hire a full-time business analyst in 2017 to serve Brown, Comanche and Mills counties. Tipton described the amendment as a continuation of existing field-office support to the region.

Councilmember Melody Nowowiejski moved to authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment; Councilmember H D Jones seconded the motion. The council voted unanimously to approve the authorization. The agreement continues an in-kind city-provided office location and access to common areas for the SBDC employee assigned to this area through August 2028.

No fiscal appropriation or budget change was identified in the transcript; the motion authorized execution of the interlocal amendment only.
