| Overview
|
| University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College will use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to develop the Valley Business Impact Network (VBIN), a new regional economic development program. This program will use techniques and resources developed through a 2002 UTB/TSC HSIAC grant to help businesses start in Brownsville, Texas, by creating a business incubator, the International Innovation Center. The VBIN will be a regional approach to using university expertise (faculty and students) to help start, retain, and expand businesses in some of the poorest communities of the United States. The VBIN will deploy students to survey local business needs and give follow-up assistance. A new incubator will be developed in Raymondville, Texas, and existing incubators in Port Isabel and Brownsville will receive a new community outreach program. All three incubators will be tied into a new business incubator network to facilitate business development on a regional basis.
