The mission of the Westside Development Corporation (WDC) is to foster economic development, promote the development and redevelopment of real estate within its target area, create viable urban communities, and preserve the character, culture and history of the Westside.
History
On June 8, 2006, the San Antonio City Council approved the creation of a local government corporation called the Westside Development Corporation (WDC). The purpose of the WDC is to create economic development opportunities in a historically underserved area of San Antonio. The City of San Antonio has committed to supporting the WDC through its incorporation and short-term operations. City Council approved funding in the amount of $600,000 over two years to cover operational expenses and market studies. The WDC staff currently resides within the City’s Economic Development Department but is expected to eventually establish itself as an independent, nonprofit organization.
