The Commercial & Retail Sector
Bisected by two busy interstates, IH-35 and IH-14, and with an MSA population of more than 482,002, Belton is the ideal location for commercial and retail businesses. Properties are available in high-traffic areas adjacent to major roadways and in downtown, only a mile from the interstate. The City of Belton and the BEDC work together closely to market the community and bring commercial and retail sector projects to fruition.

Partnerning with the City of Belton
The City of Belton and the BEDC work together closely to market the community and bring commercial and retail sector projects to fruition. The BEDC’s investment in road infrastructure, such as the extension of Commerce Drive and improvements to East Street in downtown Belton have contributed to business expansions, improvements, and new small businesses.
BEDC funding of utility infrastructure on IH-35 and IH-14 is opening strategic areas for commercial development. In addition, the BEDC and the city of Belton are partnering to conduct a master development plan which will cast a vision supporting the already ongoing redevelopment efforts downtown and in adjacent corridors.
