DESCRIPTION:

The Waco Downtown Redevelopment Project is a comprehensive 12 to 20-year initiative led by the City of Waco in partnership with Hunt Development Group, aimed at revitalizing downtown Waco into a vibrant, mixed-use urban area.  This project encompasses five distinct districts across more than 100 acres along Waco's beautiful Brazos River - offering amenities, business, and experiences that embrace our residents and visitors.  In the first phase, Waco's rich history and culture will take center stage through signature public spaces including highly walkable parks, plazas, and open spaces in an area known as Barron's Branch.  Walk with us to explore the rich past and the exciting future.
