Grant Programs
Investing in Our Local Businesses
At Henderson Texas Economic Development Corporation, our mission goes beyond attracting new industries, it’s about empowering the heart of our city: our small businesses. Through our Small Business Matching Grant Program, we’re helping local entrepreneurs revitalize their storefronts, enhance curb appeal, and contribute to a stronger, more vibrant Henderson.

Why This Matters
At its core, this grant program is about partnership. We believe that when business owners invest in their properties, the EDC should be there to meet them halfway.
