Eligible Downtown Revitalization Applicants

Eligible applicants must be an incorporated municipality and not be designated as an official Texas Historical Commission (THC) Main Street City. To determine eligibility of a particular city, contact TDA. The city is responsible for the administration and success of the project throughout the term of the contract.

All proposed infrastructure improvements to be funded by the TxCDBG Program must be located on public property within the designated downtown district.

The Downtown District must be designed to promote pedestrian-centered economic activity and be supported by local documentation, such as a zoning map or local district designation.  A Downtown District does not include single-family dwellings, and can typically be described as either:

• The city’s historic area of commerce or economic center of the community; or

• The area around the courthouse or city square, if the improvements will primarily serve non-governmental buildings.

 

Eligible Main Street Applicants

Eligible applicants must be an incorporated municipality with a designation as an official THC Main Street City prior to applying to TxCDBG and must remain a participating city for the duration of the award/contract. To determine eligibility of a particular city, contact TDA. 

All proposed infrastructure improvements to be funded by the TxCDBG Program must be located on public property within the designated Main Street area.
