Revive Brachs Factory/Root2Fruit Campus

The Austin community is in dire need of a new school and performing arts center. Stop the demolition of the Brachs factory and revive our community with the Root2Fruit development campus.

Why is this important?

The Brachs factory is facing demolition the 32 acres the land sits on should be used for a new Austin community school and performing arts center. The city is offering $10.6 million in TIF money to demolish it but that very money can help fund the Root2Fruit development campus which includes a new area school and a performing arts center both are critically needed in the community.
