After 2+ years of various phases and applications, the Friedl Bakery Building redevelopment project at 300 Commercial St Waterloo is being awarded State Historic Tax Credits. The Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) released a list of recipients on July 6.

The Friedle Bakery Building redevelopment project, like many others, are only possible with the assistance from not only State/Federal Historic Tax Credits and partnership between the City of Waterloo and private investors Cedar Valley Realestate LLC.  Without these programs, older rundown buildings are in danger of being demolished.  By keeping these 100+ year old buildings intact history is preserved improving the community today 

while preparing for the future. The building transformation has been underway for 7 months with the hopes of having the full renovation complete by October 1st
