TIRZ board OKs $100,000 for 1313 North Bryant restaurant renovations
Summary
The TIRZ board approved a $100,000 North-tier grant for upgrades at 1313 North Bryant (restaurant), which staff said will fund façade and window enclosure improvements and allow the owner to occupy enclosed interior floors; the applicant described plans to weatherproof an outdoor dining area.
The San Angelo TIRZ board approved a $100,000 grant for a North-tier project at 1313 North Bryant to fund façade, window and enclosure improvements that will allow the business to occupy additional interior space.
Staff said the project’s total cost is roughly $118,000 with an owner match of about $17,000; the grant request was for the full $100,000 available. Applicant Francisco described plans to enclose and weatherproof an exterior patio — "we just wanna seal it up so it's done the right way now" — to protect customers from Texas weather and make the space usable year-round.
Board members had no substantive objections and approved the requested grant after a motion, noting staff will follow up on permitting, inspections and any phased sprinkler work required for upper floors if the owner pursues additional upgrades.
The approved award is intended to bring the site into productive commercial use and increase local tax revenue streams once the tenant improvements are complete.
