Barrio San Antonio

Barrio San Antonio is a historic barrio located adjacent to and east of downtown Tucson, Arizona, United States.[1][2] The barrio is named after San Antonio, or Anthony of Padua, the Portuguese saint. The neighborhood is a federal empowerment zone and is home to multiple downtown Tucson elementary schools[3][4] and businesses.[5][6]

Development

The Arroyo Chico Wash along the northern boundaries of the neighborhood is being transformed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers into retention basins and public spaces.[7] The Lost Barrio shopping district, Cox Communications Tucson, Mission Linen, and many other businesses are located in the neighborhood. The barrio is also home to the Civano Demonstration Project,[8] and is a crossroads of bicycle paths in Tucson.[9] The city's historic downtown center, other historic barrios, and Armory Park Historic Residential District are other well known places bordering the Barrio.
