Yesterday, Waco’s City Council heard an in-depth report about the Downtown Development project which is currently in phase 1A.
The new plan brings more green space to Downtown Waco, including a pedestrian walk-way, a stream & cascade fountain and spring cove. At the meeting, mayor Jim Holmes praised the work done by the development team.
"These pictures are amazing and I think ultimately, people are going to forget about the San Antonio Riverwalk and this is going to be the premier Riverwalk in the world," Holmes said.
The project will continue in the design phase until June 2025. The project will cost an estimated $167 million. Over the next few months, the development team will be asking for public feedback.
