This is downtown Texarkana today. Once a thriving small town urban environment is largely abandoned
and falling apart. Years of neglect have left many to believe the dream of a prosperous
downtown is long gone.
But what if, instead of talking about what is wrong with our downtown we start a serious
discussion about what could be. On May 10th we are bringing back Broad Street through
a project called Better Block Texarkana. We are setting up temporary places on the street
for local and regional businesses to call home for a day. We're planning to line the
street with trees and to occupy every building we can to bring back some of what our downtown
could be and we are asking you to join us. If you'd like more information about the event
or to find out how to help by volunteering, donating, or signing your business up visit
