Lockhart EDC

Our inaugural Caldwell County Small Business Summit was a success! Just in time for Small Business and Economic Development Weeks. Many, many thanks to our co-host for helping to put on this event. Next year will be event better! Lockhart Chamber of Commerce

🎉The City of Lockhart, in partnership with the Lockhart Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Lockhart Businesses, and the Lockhart EDC, celebrated the completion of the Downtown Revitalization Project with a ribbon cutting on April 30.

This transformative project delivered major upgrades to water and sewer utilities, drainage, streets, hardscapes, pedestrian access, and landscaping throughout the downtown area. Improvements also included traffic enhancements along North Main Street between SH-142/W. San Antonio Street and Walnut Street.

Designed to preserve the charm of historic downtown while preparing for future growth, these improvements create a more welcoming, vibrant, and functional space for residents, visitors, and local businesses alike. The project reinforces downtown Lockhart as a thriving hub for community life, economic development, and tourism.
