Firm offers grants help to cities for federal funds
A consultant outlined how cities can secure federal funds through his firm, citing Round Rock as a six year client and noting benefits in industrial development water sewer upgrades and parks. He compared city grant work to tax filing and said fees of 800 to 900 dollars monthly with a day cancel clause yield net gains for clients. The council took no action as the item wasn’t on the agenda while considering a Burnet Industrial Park annexation petition.
