BENBROOK
Small Town,
Big Backyard
Benbrook offers a welcoming and
supportive community in which to
do business. The Benbrook Area
Chamber of Commerce, the City of
Benbrook, and the Benbrook Economic
Development Corporation work in
tandem to promote our local business
community, recruit desirable retail, and
assist commercial development.
Our city provides outstanding location
and accessibility, low tax and crime
rates, and a large and growing retail
trade area that assures the success of
those committed to providing quality
goods and services as part of our
business family. The near-completion
of Benbrook Boulevard/U.S. 377 ramps
up traffic counts along our busiest
commercial corridor; but steady
growth in our market means businesses
locating anywhere in and around our
community are choosing wisely. Newly
approved ordinances are paving the way
for increased aesthetic appeal in our
overlay district, and beautification plans
for Benbrook Boulevard include new
landscaping, hardscaping, lighting, and
monument signs.
In support of increasing visual appeal
in Benbrook, the Benbrook Economic
Development Corporation (BEDC)
continues to offer the Storefront
Improvement Grant for qualifying
projects. Benbrook brick and mortars
desiring to improve the façade of
buildings are encouraged to apply for
the grant. Projects can include painting,
masonry, and landscaping, lighting, and
parking lot improvements. The grant
offers a 50% match, up to $20,000.
In 2018, the Benbrook Area Chamber of
Commerce, the City of Benbrook, and
the BEDC hosted the first “Hometown
Pride” event. This program recognizes
and celebrates long-standing Benbrook
businesses that have been in operation
for 20 years or longer.
These entities also partnered to host
the first Business Expo event. Over
50 local businesses showcased their
products and services to the public at this
very well-attended event at Highridge
Church in March. In October 2018, the
International Economic Development
Council presented a collaboration award
to Benbrook for the Business Expo.
Event planners anticipate both
Hometown Pride and Business Expo
events to take place in 2019.
Benbrook welcomes your business, and
stands ready to assist in your expansion
or relocation to our Small Town, Big
Backyard. n
