BUSINESS MATTERS
The Texas Military Preparedness Commission (TMPC)
selected the City’s applications from 13 submitted for
the Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant
(DEAAG) program. Applicants requested more than
$42 million worth of projects for the $20 million in
funding appropriated by the 85th Texas Legislature.
“Christmas has come early to Corpus Christi,” pro-
claimed Mayor Joe McComb. “Having both grant ap-
plications selected for funding has never happened in
the history of DEAAG. The City has been so close in
two previous rounds, so I could not be more pleased
with today’s outcome.”
