The city of Seabrook hopes to attract businesses to the under-construction Seabrook Town Center by offering economic incentives to open at the development.
What's happening?
At its July 21 meeting, Seabrook City Council will consider whether to award an $850,000 new construction and development grant to Pomodoro’s Cucina Italiana.
The grant would be awarded in three installments of $600,000 upon opening, followed by two annual payments of $125,000, according to city documents.
The total capital investment for the 6,900-square-foot space is around $2.6 million, according to city documents.
The local impact
According to city documents, Pomodoro’s Cucina Italiana is projected to be a revenue and job creator, producing:
- 15 to 20 full-time employees
- 15 to 20 part-time employees
- $2 million in sales in the first year
- $4.3 million in economic impact from sales tax, property tax and employee wages after 10 years
The restaurant was founded by Louis and Josephine Floridia, and the family has operated in the Bay Area for over 20 years with locations in League City and Clear Lake, according to previous
