Edinburg is working on a master plan to revitalize its downtown area. The city plans to hire consultants to help with the project. Similar efforts are underway in McAllen and Brownsville.

Edinburg's mayor envisions a downtown with improved amenities, including better lighting and a revamped drainage system. The goal is to create a destination area with arts and culture offerings, restaurants, and mixed-use facilities. Further details on the plan are available from the city, which is taking a deliberate approach to the project.
