The Waco Foundation is giving $74,663 to help create the East Waco Community Development Plan.

The nonprofit group Waco Community Development has been working with East Waco neighborhoods, schools and churches to develop a vision to improve the area.

The Waco Foundation grant will help turn those discussions into an action plan with strategies for housing, education and other needs.

Waco Community Development is best known for its work in North Waco, where since 2001 it has built 46 homes and renovated 16.

The nonprofit group has helped 187 people become homeowners and has supported neighborhood schools.

East Waco leaders said in a press release they are looking forward to similar successes in their part of Waco
