Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization

NCR LogoThe City of San Antonio Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization Program works with grass roots organizations to promote the revitalization of neighborhood commercial districts by attracting consumers, private sector investment and employment opportunities to targeted commercial corridors.

Revitalization and reinvestment in San Antonio’s inner-city has repeatedly been identified as a priority by the City Council. The NCR Program is one component of an overall revitalization effort grounded in the CRAG and Housing Master Plan initiatives.

NCR puts neighborhood stakeholders at the forefront of their district's revitalization process. The goals of the NCR program are to:
  • empower community groups to restore productivity of underutilized business and retail areas
  • improve the physical appearance of each district
  • attract and retain businesses
  • create jobs and spur investments
  • promote the districts as destinations for shopping, entertainment, and dining activities
  • In NCR target areas, the NCR Program to date has seen:

  • 267 Net New Businesses
  • 3,304 Net New Jobs
  • $118,000,000 in Private Investment in New and Existing Businesses
