The City of San Antonio Economic Development Department (EDD) and the Westside Development Corporation (WDC) are presenting a request for proposal to develop a strategic plan for the Near West San Antonio Opportunity Zones: census tracts 1701.02, 1106 and 1105 (see map below). The goal of the strategic plan is to attract Opportunity Zone (OZ) investment in the West Side of San Antonio, a historically low-income area. Our aim is to provide a guide that aligns with community priorities, is sensitive to the existing cultural and historical wealth, and discourages displacement. Investments will stimulate positive community and economic growth. The WDC will direct and oversee all services performed in response to the RFP.
