Deeply concerned that neighborhood gentrification in the East Waco community through business expansion is all about greed and profit and not about also finding ways to serve the community.
The neighborhoods of East Waco – Carver and North East Riverside – are not bad neighborhoods. Good people live there, new homes have been built and many small homes are maintained to a high standard, people travel from all over the Waco region to send their children to Rapoport Academy and to eat barbecue at Tony Demaria’s. But these neighborhoods don’t reflect the strengths they possess. As a low income community, homes also lack needed repairs, infrastructure and community services are lacking. Over a period of 50 years the neighborhood has declined, and remaining black businesses struggle to survive. They have also become neglected due to lack of investment. Physical conditions, especially public infrastructure, reinforce a negative image of the people and the neighborhood.
With the Joanna and Chip Gaines Silos phenomenon, the west side of the Brazos River has created a fear of gentrification and displacement in the neighborhood. Because of the recent Baylor Stadium construction families were displaced and given vouchers to move to other parts of Waco. Community meetings have resulted in tempers being lost as the community feels it is being steam-rolled into gentrification with lack of hearing over many years as to the requests of the people living in the neighborhood. The challenge for this particular area of our community, the community, more policing and strong actions on crime and drugs.
Over the years our partnership with NeighborWorks Waco has worked with the community creating community forums to listen and share information of opportunities to support people in the community.
· “Storytellers” a community driven mural led by artist David Lowenstein with a grant received by Cultural Arts of Waco from Mid America Arts Alliance, offered the two organizations another opportunity to partner to bring the community together. Many memories of how East Waco once was are illustrated on the mural. This mural is on the Waco Tours itinery – the sad part guests on the tour do not get out of the bus to actually stand by the mural. Though the 118ft mural is on the East Waco Library wall the area is not considered safe. The Cultural Arts of Waco office is located on Elm Avenue and only a few steps from the mural!
