BCIC is excited to share our 2025-2029 Strategic Plan with the community we serve. This roadmap represents months of listening to your voices: entrepreneurs sharing their dreams over coffee, families describing their ideal parks, students envisioning their future careers, and civic leaders painting their vision for Brownsville's tomorrow.
Your input shaped five ambitious goals: creating more green spaces and family-friendly amenities, strengthening support for small businesses through the eBridge Center, breathing new life into our historic downtown, building partnerships that connect residents to opportunities, and ensuring BCIC remains robust and responsive to your needs.
Over the past two decades, BCIC has renewed and expanded parks and public amenities, invested in community health and wellness projects, helped restore historic buildings, launch the eBridge Center as a regional entrepreneurship hub, and support countless local businesses. Now, we're building on that foundation with priorities you told us matter most: better parks for families, stronger support for entrepreneurs, a vibrant downtown, and opportunities that keep our young talent here at home.
As Board Chair Dr. Rose M. Z. Gowen notes, economic development and community wellness aren't opposing forces, but rather partners that strengthen each other. President & CEO Cori PeĂąa sees this partnership in action every day: "the entrepreneur with a dream, the family enjoying their neighborhood park, the artist painting the mural downtown." That's the Brownsville we're building together.
