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 (see map below).

The purpose of the Strategic Plan is to encourage and attract thoughtful investments to the Near Westside, while protecting resident and small businesses from displacement. 

The Plan identifies concerns and desires of stakeholders living and working in the Opportunity Zones. It also seeks to address needs of business owners and property owners in the Near Westside to enhance their qualify of life and desire to preserve what is best in their community. In addition, the Plan includes implementation strategies to achieve community objectives and recommendations in the Opportunity Zones.
