Diamond Square Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting · 2026-05-18 · agenda_item

The Diamond Square Community Redevelopment Agency has approved a $12,500 forgivable loan for Wall's Bangin' BBQ. This loan is intended to support Tyrone's catering business, operating out of the Taste of Elegance Commissary Kitchen. The business will also focus on community give-back initiatives, including working with churches. The loan approval allows for reimbursement of business-related expenses incurred over the past eight months. This project is in the final approval stage, with the loan funds being awarded. The work involves supporting an existing catering business, which may include purchasing food supplies, catering equipment, and marketing services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers can find opportunities by connecting with Tyrone early, before specific purchasing decisions are finalized, to offer their goods and services for his catering operations and future goals.
