Summary

Created as part of the City of Laredo Arts and Entertainment District, the Iturbide “It” Street incentives package attracts restaurant and quality of life businesses to Laredo’s historic downtown. By working with Project Laredaissance and numerous building owners in downtown Laredo, the team developed incentive packages that included tax abatement and assistance for businesses to apply for façade improvement grants to aid in the revitalization of Iturbide Street. The investment and commitment to economic development has created a spark in downtown revitalization.
