Consideration to discontinue participation in the FCDA Grant Program for the Fire Station Redevelopment Project. -Phillip Trocquet, Assistant Town Manager Mr. Trocquet explained that, after receiving FCDA grant funds to redevelop the old fire station property into a food truck park, the DDA directed staff to conduct a pilot project at Shamrock Park to evaluate feasibility before committing additional funds. He shared that staff managed the food truck park at Shamrock Park on Fridays and Saturdays from September through November for lunch and dinner. Due to limited success, staff concluded that a full-food truck park would not generate enough revenue to break even or earn modest profits for future redevelopment. Staff recommended that the DDA discontinue participation in the FCDA Grant Program for the Fire Station Redevelopment Project. A motion was made to discontinue participation in the FCDA Grant Program for the Fire Station Redevelopment Project and to refund the $50,000 seed funds.
