What began as a search for a place to park a food truck has grown into Fetch Food Park, a dog-friendly food truck park that opened in June 2019 and currently features a variety of global cuisines, desserts and a florist.

Meet the owner: Fetch Food Park came together after owner Paul Serraino expanded his Jersey Giant Pizza business and decided to launch a food trailer. Shortly after finding and purchasing a piece of property, food trailer Leyla's Kitchen approached him about joining the property.

Since then, the park has gradually expanded with more tenants. The Jersey Giant Pizza trailer later became Leyla's Pizzeria, and a former barbecue restaurant building on the property was remodeled and now houses The Cosmic Cup.

"They help each other out; it's a friendly environment between tenants," Serraino said.

What they offer: The food truck park currently has six vendors. Serraino said that Fetch's newest tenant, Bento & Blaze, is slated to open in August and will offer Japanese cuisine.

Lakeway City Council discussed a $37 million economic incentive request for The Square at Lakeway at a July 13 meeting.

The background: In January, The Square at Lakeway developer requested an economic incentive known as a chapter 380 agreement, which allows cities to provide grants, loans and tax rebates to stimulate economic development, per city documents.

The developer previously requested $46.9 million in grants over a period of 35 years.

The incentives were not approved as the developer later withdrew the request.

The details: The new proposal consists of three interrelated agreements.

A development and economic incentive agreement will serve as the master agreement governing the overall project.

This agreement will incorporate the city's 2026 economic development incentive policy, establish the rights and responsibilities of all participating parties, require the completion of Main Street improvements before receiving any incentive payments and require continued compliance with applicable performance and development requirements.

The following two agreements include a tax increment reinvestment zone agreement and chapter 380 grant and economic development agreement.
