Downtown Waco backers see recipe for rebound in new year with ongoing projects

WACO, TX – That is not a mirage arising along Lake Brazos’ west bank, near University Parks Drive. It is a $100 million idea whose time has come. Apparently lost in the dust kicked up by Interstate 35’s $341 million widening through Waco are the Riverfront development’s false starts, wrangling and money matters holding the project hostage since it was introduced as the Brazos Promenade in 2015. Hurdles cleared, the theme now is onward and upward.
