Dalhart council approves proactive Business Retention and Expansion program
Summary
The council approved a business retention-and-expansion program that directs staff to conduct outreach, confidential site visits and resource connections to help local businesses identify problems early and plan for growth.
Staff described a tiered Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) program aimed at supporting existing businesses through outreach, confidential site visits and connections to available state and local resources. The program includes tiered interventions for businesses at different risk levels and emphasizes workforce and infrastructure coordination.
As staff put it, "This program ensures that the business, the business concerns are addressed early, workforce and infrastructure needs are aligned, and expansion opportunities are supported," and the council voted to adopt the BRE program. Council members said the program extends support beyond initial ribbon-cutting events and could help prevent closures by identifying problems early.
