Although in recent years Warren has struggled through some hard times, the city is once again bouncing back with the Impact Warren project, a riverfront development project in downtown Warren. This project, when completed, will include, among others, new townhouses and senior citizen housing, new retail and commercial development, a parking garage, convention center, and TAWC bus depot. This, coupled with the new Wal-Mart complex in nearby North Warren, will help the city and region recapture some of its old glory.
