State panel approves designation of Segundo Barrio as historic district
AUSTIN, Texas - A state historical review panel voted unanimously Saturday to support the designation of south El Paso s Segundo Barrio as a historic district.
With the vote by the Texas Historical Commission s State Review Board, the proposal for the historic district can advance to the National Park Service for potential inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.
This would make state and federal tax credits available for renovation or restoration of nearly 700 properties in the area. The barrio is currently on the Preservation Texas list of Most Endangered places, and in 2016 it was named to the Most Endangered list by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a national non-profit that advocates for historic preservation.
