The Cuero Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA). This transformative investment will renovate the historic Fair Department Store building at 101 W. Main Street in downtown Cuero, creating a dynamic hub for tourism, business development, and community engagement.
Revitalizing Cuero’s Heartbeat The EDA grant will breathe new life into the cherished Fair Department Store, which was constructed in 1881, converting it into a stateof- the-art visitor center, event space, and economic development hub. This initiative is a significant stride forward in Cuero’s mission to bolster local businesses, attract new investments, and enhance the tourism experience. With an additional $287,500 in local funds, this project is expected to create and retain 105 jobs and generate $25 million in private investment, according to grantee estimates.
