THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Authority will consider awarding $25,000 to Honey and Vine under the Ardmore Downtown Business Loan to grant program to help them complete a performance agreement and meet program requirements. This is a direct incentive for a downtown business, signaling active local small business support. Lenders, technical assistance providers, and retail buildout vendors may find this useful for timing outreach to Honey and Vine and for understanding how the Authority structures small business assistance.
Item involves an incentive/loan-to-grant award to a specific downtown business rather than a competitive procurement.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
