Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union has opened a Leon Valley branch at the corner of Bandera and Grissom.  Mayor Pro Tem Paul Biever welcomed RBFCU at the grand opening held on Wednesday, June 11.  The event was attended by various representatives of RBFCU, the Leon Valley Area Chamber of Commerce, Councilman Ricardo Ruiz, City Manager Manuel Longoria, Jr., and Economic Development Director Claudia Mora.

The Leon Valley Economic Development Corporation (LVEDC) will accept applications for the Façade and Signage Program from June 1 to July 15.  Sales tax generating businesses and property owners with sales tax generating tenants are eligible for the program.  The program guidelines and application may be found by clicking here.

At the May 28 meeting, the LVEDC Board passed a resolution requiring applicants to use Leon Valley businesses for bids on the services to do the façade improvements or signage; and, whenever feasible, to use the local businesses for the services.  Proof of the local business bids should be submitted with the application for funding.  The LVEDC encourages businesses and residents to "buy local".
