Main Street Texarkana has received a five-thousand-dollar grant to help bring more light to downtown Texarkana.
The grant comes from the 2026 Anice Reed Fund and will support the Light Up West Broad Campaign. The money will help pay for new poles and canopy lighting along West Broad Street.
The project builds on similar lighting improvements completed on East Broad Street in 2023.
The overall goal is to raise 125-thousand dollars for the West Broad project. Organizers say the new lighting will enhance downtown's appearance, preserve its historic character, and create a more welcoming, pedestrian-friendly area for nightlife.
