Commons at Agora
CORINTH, TX- The Commons at Agora is envisioned to be an iconic gathering space that will inform future mixed-use development on the surrounding properties to create a true downtown district, Agora while serving as a central hub for community activities, events, and festivals. This dynamic space will be defined by exciting shopping, dining, and living opportunities with a local flair. Drawing from its ancient Greek origins, Agora means “marketplace”, and this gathering space will re-imagine the meaning of marketplace by infusing an elevated, modern, Texas-twist that is distinctly Corinth.
