Diamond Square Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

This item concerns the Upstart Diamond Square Small Business Program, a forgivable loan agreement between the City of Cocoa/Diamond Square and Wall's Bangin' BBQ, LLC. The agreement requires the grantee to seek technical assistance from an approved economic development organization or company for financial, business strategy, or marketing needs, provided these services are available at no cost. This program is currently under review as part of the Diamond Square Community Redevelopment Agency agenda. While specific construction or development is not detailed, the program's focus on business strategy and marketing suggests potential needs for consulting, financial advisory, and marketing services. Local businesses offering these specialized services may find opportunities to support the program's participants. Engaging early could provide an advantage as the program moves forward.
