​

A maximum of $15,000 is available for use on the front/main façade and for corner properties an additional $10,000 for a total grant amount of $25,000. Business owners will only be required to match up to $500 investment. No Money shall be paid by the City of Laredo upon any claim, debt, demand, or account whatsoever, to any person, form or corporation who is in arrears to the City of Laredo for taxes.
