While Technology Based Tracking LLC made little headway with its original strategy, the backup plan may hit the market at the right time.

Michelle Romero is enthusiastic.

In five years time, the manager of Henderson’s Redevelopment Agency expects the city’s original downtown - now known as the Water Street District - to have evolved from the dusty, war-effort manufacturing town into an art deco hub of family friendly activity. And just five years ago, perhaps the only reason to drive up the district’s main thoroughfare, Water Street, was to visit City Hall, police headquarters, the courthouse or the jail. Now it boasts new buildings, over a dozen restaurants and coffeehouses, a few art studios, a weekly farmers’ market and several varied shops.

Romero talked with In Business Las Vegas about the economy’s effect on redevelopment, the agency’s outreach to businesses and the status of redevelopment projects in Henderson. Read full story:
