Several Wallis Downtown existing businesses have utilized WDC Grants for façade and building improvements. WDC has also applied for a Texas Community Development Block Grant Program, which could add ADA accessibility, sidewalks, parking and lighting to some sections on Wallis Downtown.

Tax Abatement
