Turning your downtown into a destination is a strategy that can help retain current residents and attract new ones. "We see rural communities struggle to retain their youth after graduation. Creating a thriving downtown area is one way to encourage them to stay. It creates a sense of place and community gathering spot they will want to be part of," said Bethany Quinn, VP of Strategy for Golden Shovel Agency. The same holds for entrepreneurs, remote workers, young families, and retirees. Everyone wants to feel connected to their community, and the downtown area is an excellent place to start.

Royse City is home to a growing number of young professionals and families. The average age within the city is 32 years old, and the educational attainment is higher than the national average. This has led to a population that is active, educated, and earns around $90,000 per year - far more than the national average. With 15,000 new homes in some stage of development, the city’s growth is expected to continue for some time. As it does, investments are being made in parks and recreation and the local school district.
