This document proposes a public-private partnership to create an affordable food source and community space in East Austin near the airport. The project would develop 1.23 acres of land to include 4 commercial food trailers, a community garden, fresh produce stalls, and parking. It aims to provide healthy food options and social interactions for local residents while attracting customers from nearby roads. The developer seeks non-profits to supply produce and grants to support utilities, preservation of natural areas, and community programs on the site.
