SMALL BUSINESS

Westside Business Alliance (WBA)

 
We know that small businesses are essential to building robust communities and serve as cornerstones of a region’s cultural and economic fabric. Through a new initiative, the WDC will connect owners along target corridors in the Westside to create advocacy networks. These networks will empower owners to promote projects that positively impact their businesses and the larger communities.

WBA keeps the 750+ Westside businesses informed about development changes in the area to preserve and help them grow

Legacy Corridor Initiative

 
In partnership with City of San Antonio Council District 5, the WDC seeks to preserve our Westside Legacy Businesses by making them more resilient and thereby strengthening the overall economy.
 
Legacy Businesses are those that have been in businesses for 10 years or longer and serve a community function that goes above and beyond the simple sale of goods and services, they serve to support local culture and stability.

Near Westside Opportunity Zones

The City of San Antonio Economic Development Department (EDD) and the Westside Development Corporation (WDC) worked with Wendell Davis & Associates to develop the Near Westside Opportunity Zones Investment and Neighborhood Preservation Plan for census tracts 1701.02, 1106 and 1105. This encourages long-term investments in low-income, high-poverty communities through tax incentives.
