COPPERAS COVE – As soon as the number of supporters counted down from three, local business owner and veteran Tasha Roberts, her husband, and a group of eight others dug their shovels into the ground and tossed the earth.
The groundbreaking ceremony marked the start of a food truck park in downtown Copperas Cove.
The Taste of Cove Food Truck Park is located on currently fallow land that will provide space for eight food trucks, a covered seating area and a disabled toilet.
It’s the realization of years of dreams for Roberts, who also owns Babies N Things in downtown Cove, owns the Sporty Dogs Food Truck – which will take up a seat in the park – and also for the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps at the University of Texas in Austin.
“I was too nervous and too scared to sketch it out to try to move on,” said Roberts. “And only one day I thought, ‘You know what, I’ll just try.'”
Roberts said she was looking for a spot for the food truck park when she came across the vacant lot at 105 W. Avenue E in Copperas Cove, next to RNC Construction.
She said she immediately called her agent who found out what had to be done to buy the land. Then she sent her first sketch to an engineer who made the design what it is.
When the work officially begins, Roberts is hoping it will only be a few months.
