The Rice Economic Development Corporation is focused on achieving continual economic growth for our residents and businesses. One of the ways we accomplish this is through our Business Building Initiatives. Here are our current initiatives:
2024 Business Development Grant & Resources Program
Grant funding opportunities are available for businesses in the Rice City Limits who have plans aligned with our goals, whether it be expanding operations, hiring staff, investing in technology, or launching new products.
The 2024 Business Development Grant packet includes resources to help you plan your project and answer questions about application requirements. LEARN MORE!
