  3. Catalytic Development Projects • Projects that can jump-start the vision • Projects that can both accommodate existing unmet market demand AND induce new market demand • Projects that can serve as anchors for a downtown district and spur additional development; new downtown “destinations.” • Projects of a size and scale that can be implemented under current economic conditions and show initial, early success • Projects that help “brand” the new downtown Laredo
