A food truck court<\/a> is in the works for the Stop Six neighborhood, but owner Manuel Gaona is asking the community for help to finish it.<\/p>\n

Gaona is a Fort Worth native and counselor at Polytechnic High School. He wanted to bring more dining options to his neck of the woods in southeast Fort Worth. The food court will go on a plot of land off East Berry Street<\/a> and have up to seven food truck tenants with a commissary building.<\/p>\n

Gaona told the Star-Telegram that the foundation is laid, necessary permits are have been acquired and food truck tenants are lined up. He has the money to start the project, but now needs the community\u2019s help to finish utility installations, the commissary building and parking lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have gone through the city zoning ordinance and have been approved to build this mobile food court restaurant. That was the biggest risk and challenge,\u201d Gaona wrote on his Kickstarter crowdfunding page<\/a>. \u201cNow it is the time to start building and moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaona is asking for $100,000 (backers can see a complete breakdown of the costs on the funding page). Kickstarter donations operate on an all-or-nothing basis<\/a>. If Gaona does not raise his full six-figure goal, then potential donors will not be charged.<\/p>\n

The tier eight reward level gives donors all rewards for the previous seven tiers, as well as a two-day pass for one free meal, and their picture taken to hang on their hall of fame.<\/p>\n

Other rewards include bumper stickers, keychains, posters, an honorary plaque, a sweater, hat and T-shirt combo and a picture book of the recorded development of the Mobile Food Court.<\/p>\n

Gaona says people from his neighborhood are eagerly awaiting the addition of more dining options<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If funding goes to plan, he can have the Mobile Food Court up and running by the end of August. Otherwise, Gaona says they will plan to open sometime next year.<\/p>\n
