Laredo City Council Approves Tax Incentives for Local Businesses
What happened
The Laredo City Council voted on October 19 to create a new tax incentive plan aimed at bringing small businesses, such as grocery stores and medical clinics, to growing areas of the city. Victor Treviño, the Mayor, supported the plan, noting that the current process requires small businesses to navigate complex paperwork and pay high fees. The plan directs staff to draft incentives for areas like South Laredo and West Laredo.
