The Greater Waco Chamber is committed to our center city and riverfront and will be an advocate for quality urban design and encourage mixed-use development downtown. An example of our belief in downtown's future is our new building on Third Street at Heritage Square.

Sarah Roberts, Chris McGowan and other members of the Chamber's economic development team will assist investors, businesses and others interested in downtown find buildings or sites for development.
The Chamber’s Challenge Greater Waco Strategic Economic Development Plan includes “Revitalizing Strategic Community Areas” as one of five goals.

The Plan states that developing downtown and our riverfront will continue to be a Chamber priority.

We also will give priority to high density development.

Investment in the urban core, or the heart of the city, creates great walkable places for ecnomic development, community interaction, tourism and other public benefits.

Downtown Waco is the heart of the city where the Brazos River provides a beautiful landscape and businesses are bringing in people for work, play and even to live.

Development in this vital area has included renovating treasured buildings and new construction. From restaurants and retail to office space and residential, Downtown Waco is coming alive.
