A Vision for the Future

Located adjacent to I-10, along 6th St. and Beaumont Ave., Downtown Beaumont is a vital anchor of the community. The area has a rich history and maintains the historic development pattern of the California railroad, with many historical and civic buildings. Downtown Beaumont has immense potential, and through revitalization efforts and the implementation of the Downtown Vision Plan, the city is working to establish Beaumont as the Heart of the City—a vibrant and dynamic place to work, live, shop, and gather for special events. 

Downtown Vision Plan

Create a walkable, active, and pedestrian-oriented civic anchor with an exciting diversity of economic, residential, and cultural opportunities.

The Economic Development Department collaborates with city entities and local downtown businesses to further the implementation of the Downtown Development Plan and to bring economic growth and development to Beaumont.
