  Additional Details:

  Application Review Period: Applications will be reviewed within 30 days of receipt.

  Grant Awardees Announcement: Awardees will be announced at the Board of Directors following their selection. Successful grantees will be contacted upon award determination.

  Law Enforcement Access: Grantees are required to provide law enforcement agencies with access to camera footage upon their request. This cooperation is vital for enhancing overall security and aiding law enforcement investigations.

  *Please note funds are for reimbursement of expenses and will not be dispersed until after the equipment purchase and installation are complete and The Energy Corridor District has received proof of both.

  City of Houston Ordinance 2022-307 Section 28-672 requires certain specifics regarding security cameras for sexually-oriented businesses, convenience stores, and game parlors. These technical requirements are incorporated here for all applicants – regardless of business type – to allow better law enforcement and judicial access.

Applicants must have a business that is within the Energy Corridor District. See District boundaries in the map to confirm your location falls within the District.
