He also stated that the county has been given conditional approval on a $2,028,000.00 loan.
According to Aguilera, the plant has exceeded its capacity and needs to be expanded in order to meet the needs of that area of Maverick County.
Of the $3.1 million project, more than one third will be grant money which does not have to be repaid.
In 1995, the USDA gave Maverick County a grant for $800,000.00 and in 2006, MC received another grant for $1.6 million.
"What I will do is represent them on a legal basis and make sure we have the authority to do this financing to see that it works for the benefit of Maverick County and its citizens," concluded Aguilera.
