RESOLUTION APPROVING AUNT WHINCHIE'S PLACE
EAST -SIDE FACADE GRANT
AT 1710 EAST 4TH STREET
THE STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF LUBBOCK
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors of MARKET LUBBOCK ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION, INC., a Texas nonprofit corporation (MLI), on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, held in conformity with
the bylaws, after due notice as therein provided, a quorum being present and acting, the following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, MLI presented to members of the Board the proposal of a possible Economic Development Grant and
Contract to Ms. Shelia Vanburen, owner and operator of Aunt Whinchie's Place, who is moving to 1710 E. 41' Street, located
within the East Lubbock Neighborhood Empowerment Zone as designated by the City of Lubbock. The property is owned by
Mr. Terry Humphrey, a previous east -side grant recipient.
Aunt Whinchie's Place was created to cater to the social and emotional needs of young, underprivileged children to
aid in preparing them for the ultimate Pre-K and Kindergarten Experience. The children will learn decision making skills,
accountability and age -appropriate curriculum through investigative educational play practices and so much more. Ms.
Vanburen chose this location because it is in a thriving lower income area of great opportunity, potential and growth. Here we
find entrepreneurs following their dreams by opening and bringing in new businesses and growing the community in positive
ways. Ms. Vanburen believes this is an excellent area for children to observe and learn how to become respected, productive
citizens.
The scope of work includes a new fence and new signage totaling $3,738 in fagade expenses. The terms and conditions
of such Economic Development Grant and Contract, other than the normal terms and conditions applicable to all such
Economic Development Grant and Contracts by the Corporation, are described generally as follows, to wit:
Grant Shelia Vanburen Lee, owner of Aunt Whinchie's Place, an East -Side Fagade Grant totaling $1,869 for
renovations at 1710 E. 4' Street, located within the East Lubbock Neighborhood Empowerment Zone as designated by the
City of Lubbock, once proof of payment has been submitted.
WHEREAS, The Board of Directors of MLI finds that an Economic Development Grant and Contract offering the
incentive for providing assistance to renovate their facility, meet and comply with the qualifications and purposes of the
Corporation for the granting of such Economic Development Grants and Contracts.
Upon Motion by Director, Mr. Barry Orr and Seconded by Director, Mr. Sonny Garza,
IT WAS RESOLVED that MLI offer and, if accepted by Recipient, enter into an Economic Grant and Contract with
Shelia Vanburen, owner of Aunt Whinchie's Place for the renovations at 1710 East 4'' Street, Lubbock, Texas. This Economic
Development Grant and Contract will be on the normal terms and conditions of such East -Side Grant Program and Contract
