¡Welcome y Bienvenidos!
As the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) prepares to reconstruct I-10 through Downtown El Paso, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to cap the highway with a 6.5-acre multi-purpose deck park. The Deck Plaza will reconnect neighborhoods, enhance quality of life, support inclusive economic development, add green space, and celebrate the region's vibrant heritage and culture.
In addition to becoming a new destination for all El Pasoans, attracting over 1 million visitors a year across El Paso and beyond, the Deck Plaza will generate $1 billion in economic activity, create new jobs, expand opportunities for local businesses, support affordable housing development, and ensure environmental and health benefits.
The city of El Paso, County of El Paso, and Downtown Deck Plaza Foundation entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in April 2026 to engage in a public-private partnership to support the project.

The project has received $74.15 million in funding commitments to date. The Downtown Deck Plaza Foundation has embarked on a naming campaign to support its commitment to the project.
The Foundation is pleased to share the first naming gifts announced to include:
-
$20 million gift from the Fred Loya Family for the Fred Loya Family Deck Plaza
-
$1 million gift from Casa Auto Group for the Casa Auto Group Dog Park
We invite you to learn more about the project and get involved! Together we can Elevate the 10!

Let's Elevate the 10!
Elevate the 10 is a community-wide campaign designed to support this once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform I-10 in the downtown corridor into a new, signature public space that will be filled with celebrations, outdoor mercados, local arts, sports and recreation, and everyday moments with family and friends.
We invite you to join us as we work to Elevate the 10, building our future, today.
