    Dec 3 2025
    From 1975 to 2000, Waco, Texas, faced a period of economic and social adjustment. Traditional industries declined, and the city grappled with the effects of suburbanization and uneven development. Efforts at downtown and riverfront renewal met with mixed success, reflecting broader struggles to redefine the community’s identity and economic base. By the end of the century, Waco remained a city in transition—marked by persistence and gradual change rather than rapid transformation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
