Downtown El Paso is ready to be re-established as the heart of the community. Redevelopment will transform 326 acres into a vibrant place to live, work, play, shop and visit via a strong public and private partnership.

El Paso is seeking to provide for a broad range of retail choices in Downtown to meet the strong cross-border demand, mixed-use and multi-tenant housing opportunities and additional office opportunities.

El Paso City Council created a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) for 288 acres of the DT Plan. In its first two years of the TIRZ, property values climbed by 40 percent to almost $446 million.

The TIRZ Board No. 5 meets every other month at 7:30 a.m. at City Hall, 2 Civic Center Plaza. The public is welcomed to attend these meetings.
