The Business Security Grant Program offered by the City of Las Vegas has been a huge success, with nearly $1 million in funding already distributed. This program provides up to $10,000 to eligible businesses to help them improve their security measures.
Recent break-ins at local businesses have underscored the importance of having robust security systems in place. Tacotarian, one of the grant recipients, used the funding to upgrade their camera system, which proved useful in identifying the perpetrators of a recent break-in. However, they acknowledged that cameras alone are not enough for complete security.
Since its launch in March, over $750,000 has been awarded to 79 businesses in Las Vegas through this program. Chops Barbershop and 18bin are just two examples of recipients who have utilized the funding for various security enhancements such as new locks, lighting and camera systems to deter theft and improve public safety.
There is still approximately $250,000 in funding available for businesses within Las Vegas city limits that meet the eligibility criteria. Once selected, businesses receive funds via check after a formal agreement is in place – a process that typically takes around 30 days. Interested businesses can access the application for the grants through a provided link.
