Harris County proposes cutting $500,000 from a grant agreement with FORWARD for small business technical assistance and accelerator grants.
Harris County Commissioners Court is considering an amendment to an agreement with Geocko, Inc. DBA FORWARD. The change would reduce grant funds by $500,000, update the budget, and replace the Federal Award table. The agreement covers small business technical assistance and accelerator grants through the Department of Economic Equity and Opportunity, running June 6, 2023 – October 31, 2026.
Harris County contracts with a company to help small businesses get technical support and grants. This amendment changes how much money is in that contract, which affects how services are delivered through October 2026.
