Leasing Momentum Demonstrates the Strength of the Area

The Waco Downtown Cultural District spans the Brazos River.

WACO, TX—The Texas Commission on the Arts has a cultural district designation program that recognizes communities taking an active approach to growing and investing in a creative and artistic life. A cultural district is a designated area within a community that spotlights art, culture and entertainment. It is an area where residents and tourists can experience the unique character of a city. State guidelines recommend that a cultural district be a walkable, connected area with a concentration of cultural activity and incentives for development.

The Waco Downtown Cultural District spans the Brazos River, encompassing Historic and Main Street designated zones on both banks. This area was chosen because it contains the greatest concentration of entertainment venues, retail, restaurants, festivals, museums, public art, and cultural and historic landmarks, as well as incentives to attract new cultural businesses, events and assets.
