New retail center in works near I-10, 181

A 69-acre retail center is planned as a commercial improvement district along Interstate 10, and a council member was named to the development’s improvement board to have input on city-backed funding.

The Renaissance Center is the latest development planned using improvement bonds in a special-tax district. The center is adjacent to the Eastern Shore Park, where there is a new Sam’s Club and Lowe’s Home Improvement store, which was built with similar funding.
