Not just for ourselves – but also for our visitors… it is vital that we rebuild, renew, and rejuvenate downtown Brownsville. We need downtown Brownsville to be more than just a place where we can shoot the occasional movie, novela, or commercial. We need to gather together to clean up downtown Brownsville and renew it and make it the cultural, artistic, musical, food, and commercial sector that it should be. As we know, even today many are doing it on their own and going back to Downtown Brownsville and making it a priority for growth. This is what makes a viable, vibrant, and vivacious city – the people who are committed to seeing a renewal of our urban core.

My friends, the expressway only goes so far north before you hit another city. The coast is not that far off to the east. Mexico is due south, and the river winds up the west. We have nowhere left to go. If we do not take this moment in our history to rejuvenate what we have in the center, then we have failed for our future generations. Brownsville First means seeking that pathway to revitalization and a commitment to a real, just, and vibrant downtown where you can have business happen during the day, and at night the arts can come alive. Let us not fall behind everyone else – many small Texas towns have revitalized their downtown centers: turning old buildings into residential & art lofts, turning storefronts into restaurants and more. This increases the commercial and business tax revenue for a city and sustains development into the future.

Brownsville First means bringing in ideas that have worked for bigger cities and developing them here for our use. Ideas like Houston’s “Business Districts” that allow the taxes collected in a certain region to go back into that area only to improve it (and so reducing the burden on the rest of the citizens). Ideas, also, like Main Street Projects that have seen success across towns and cities our size across the United States – with grant money ready for us, ready to be used to improve our quality of life without causing an undue burden. Brownsville First means talking about ways to revitalize our core with ideas that have worked elsewhere and fine-tuning those ideas for the people of Brownsville.

We need to explore real ideas for downtown Brownsville and ask ourselves how to implement them for the greater good of all.
