Elm Avenue Revitalization Project Awarded $275K

Three projects, two of which are blocks from each other on Elm Avenue, were awarded more than $1.6 million in development incentives from the downtown Tax Increment Financing Zone board, according to The Waco Tribune-Herald.

One of the projects is being developed by Austin Meek, host of the popular radio show and podcast Downtown Depot. His redevelopment of the 400 block of Elm Avenue in East Waco would bring a permanent location of Pokey O’s Cookies & Ice Cream, a new bar and live event venue called Mammoth Culture, and an outdoor shopping mall entitled The Slab for its use of the existing concrete slabs left by former structures.

Stay tuned to Downtown Depot in 2019 for updates on this project!
