Brownsville Market Square makeover underway

​​​​BROWNSVILLE – The Brownsville Market Square Revitalization Project is currently underway and slated to be completed in May 2017. 

When complete, electrical distribution systems will be relocated underground, and the area will be decorated in landscaping, fountains, a life-sized chess board, and other amenities. 

Funding for the $3.4 million project is provided by the City of Brownsville and the Brownsville Public Utilities Board.

According to the Rio South Texas Economic Council, the Market Square Revitalization Project seeks to provide visual and functional improvements throughout Brownsville’s Main Street District by making Market Square safer, and more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly, while facilitating future economic growth.​
