CDC/EDC Agenda
Staff Report
Meeting Date: 6.03.2020
Staff Contact: Joey Grisham
AGENDA ITEM:
Consider/Discuss/Act on applications for the Small Business Recovery Grant
program and approve performance agreements. (CDC)
SUMMARY:
At the May 7t" meeting, the Community Development Corporation Board
designated funding to assist local small businesses suffering from financial impacts
related to the COVID-19 pandemic. 29 applications were received via e-mail before
5:00 PM on Wednesday, May 27, 2020.
After the last CDC/EDC Meeting, Collin County received $171 million from the
Federal Government for COVID-19, of which $765,000 was allocated for the City
of Anna. One of the allowed uses of the funds is small business grants.
Given this development, such funds could be used for the grants and the City
Council would approve a Chapter 380 Agreement with each business at the June
9t" City Council Meeting. Essentially, the CDC Board would recommend which
businesses receive funding and how much. This would also allow the CDC to
retain the $100,000 already approved on May 7t".

A special thanks goes to the Community Development Corporation and the Economic
Development Corporation Boards and staff for contributing ideas and crafting nuanced
strategies to advance economic development for the City of Anna. This process
culminated over several months, including many meetings and workshops and extensive
input.

Economic Development Director

Economic Development Manager
Beginning in 1995, Anna has seen explosive growth as it is transitioning from a small,
rural community to a fast -growth suburb of the DFW metroplex. Since 2000, Anna's
population has increased 1,125%. The City has ranked one of the top 6 fastest -growing
cities in North Texas since 2010 (Dallas Business Journal, Nov 29, 2018). Strong residential
growth, a stellar school district, a diversity of new projects and prime location on US
Highway 75, State Highway 5 and State Highway 121, as well as frontage along the Collin
County Outer Loop, make Anna an excellent choice for corporations and residents alike.
With ample land options, a historic downtown, and multiple planned developments
already in progress, Anna's City Council is strategically and effectively managing this
unprecedented growth. In 2019, they tasked the CDC and EDC with developing a bold
economic development plan. In response, the CDC and EDC embarked on a detailed
assessment of the community, participated in workshops, vision -setting sessions, SWOT
analyses, identification of important metrics, and more. This initiative resulted in a
strategic plan that identifies the vision, mission, and core values of the City of Anna
along with goals, objectives, and tactics. This strategic plan, once approved by the City
Council, will shepherd the economic development efforts over the next 3 to 5 years and
serve as both conduit and guide in evaluating projects and making decisions that will
continue to draw businesses and residents to Anna, foster economic diversity, support
the infrastructure to continue sustainable growth, and guide future housing decisions.
Having both Type-AEDCand Type-B CDC corporations, Anna can facilitate creative public/
private partnerships that will realize the vision and objectives outlined. Furthermore,
the Chamber of Commerce serves as an important and strategic partner in sustaining
and expanding the community's economic vitality. The Chamber's focus on business
education, fostering a welcoming business climate, and promoting a community spirit
that engages neighbors, continues to raise quality of life standards reinforced by the
City's strategic priorities.
This strategic plan is an evolving plan and should be revisited annually as market
conditions evolve. As City Council, the Chamber of Commerce and the EDC and CDC
continue to raise the community's profile and reinforce its identity at all levels, Anna will
continue to flourish with its business -friendly tax environment, multiple north -south-
east -west transportation corridors, and growing neighborhoods and amenities.
Economic Vitality in Anna may be evidenced by:
• Higher quality developments
• Additional catalyst projects in the downtown area
• Mixed -use development along FM 455/75
• Strategic public/private partnerships
• Increased investment in physical infrastructure
• Stronger regional partnerships
VISION
Anna has created a balanced and sustainable tax base
that invites high quality jobs, facilitates excellent quality
of life with well -maintained and first-rate infrastructure,
and offers a wide range of housing and public facilities
that build community identity and pride and engage
neighbors in meaningful ways.
