The Marble Falls Area Chamber of Commerce soon will renovate its storm-damaged building, restoring a vital community resource for business- es, nonprofits and work force partners, thanks to a $45,000 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority and Pedernales Electric Cooperative.
The LCRA Community Grant, along with $119,127 in matching funds from the chamber, will support complete interior and exterior renovations to the chamber building following significant storm damage and mold contamination. Improvements will modernize the facility, enhance accessibility and restore a safe, functional space for workforce training, business counseling, leadership programs, public meetings and regional collaboration.
“The LCRA grant will make a tremendous difference in helping us create a welcoming, updat- ed space that reflects the vibrancy of our community and the businesses we serve throughout the Highland Lakes region,” said Kim Kankel, executive director of the Marble Falls Area Chamber of Commerce. “This investment is about more than a building; it’s about creating a place where people can meet, network, build relationships and opportunities for growth can flourish."
