COVID-19 Economic Recovery Assistance Available at ETCOG
Our New Disaster Recovery Coordinator is Here to Help
We at ETCOG
are always looking for ways to bring region-wide solutions to problems we are all facing. East Texas has seen a massive impact on our Economy from COVID-19 and we have access to resources to help us recover quickly from the economic shock and get back to a place of economic growth. We have had the unique opportunity, as some other economic development organizations in East Texas have had, to bring Federal Dollars to work for our people here in East Texas.
To that end, we have brought Daniel Seguin to the ETCOG team. He will spearhead our efforts to assist the community recover from this economic shock and to become more resistant to events such as this in the future.
Daniel is a 7th Generation Texan and a Graduate of East Texas Baptist University with a degree in Business Administration and Political Science. Daniel comes to ETCOG with a passion for East Texas combined with many years of experience at TBG Solutions Inc. working to find unique solutions to problems that East Texas faces.
Daniel can assist you in finding grants that may apply to a project you are working on, identify ways that ETCOG can meet a need in your community or partner with you to meet that need, and in other COVID-Related matters.
With that in mind, we have a few questions that would help us determine where the need is in our community so that funding can be directed appropriately.
Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated and will help ensure that Federal Coronavirus Relief funds get put to work to create jobs in East Texas and improve the competitiveness of our workforce.
