Waco is Dreaming Big!

For many, the turn of the calendar marks new beginnings, and the Greater Waco area, in agreement, has stepped into another year of development. Alongside the construction and traffic of infrastructure improvements, budding business adventures are opening their doors to new possibilities in Waco. 

Recently, the Bledsoe-Miller STEAM Center celebrated its launch directly on the banks of the Brazos. The Bledsoe-Miller STEAM Center provides a thriving environment for science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics, where Wacoans of any age can learn, play, and work in a space dedicated to their creative and educational advancements. With teaching kitchens, robotic laboratories, recording studios, and standard playgrounds, there is no dream too big to create at the Bledsoe-Miller STEAM Center. 

Dreaming big has never been a bad thing, and as we approach Black History Month, we take a necessary moment to celebrate one of the most influential dreamers in American History, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who is nationally honored on the third Monday of January each year. Here in Waco, the Community Race Relations Coalition annually hosts a Wreath Laying Ceremony to commemorate the work of Dr. King and all other Civil Rights leaders. While honoring the contributions and legacies of Rev. Dr. King, this event includes various activities aimed at reflecting on Dr. King’s vision of equality, justice, and peace. Community leaders, activists, and speakers often share their thoughts on Dr. King’s impact and the ongoing struggle for civil rights, while encouraging participants to engage in service projects that embody Dr. King’s belief in serving others.
