A First Look at the Alamo's $450 Million Master Plan
The Alamo's 300th birthday is coming up in 2024, and a $450 million project to reimagine the Alamo Plaza aims to make a visit to the historic site a more memorable experience.
"City officials, locals, and history buffs that have been following the development of the Alamo Master Plan now have a suite of artistic renderings to inspect alongside the preliminary, written plans for the dramatic changes coming to the historic site," reports Irisi Dimmick.
The proposed design is the work of Philadelphia-based Preservation Design Partnership, hired by the city of San Antonio, the Texas General Land Office, and the Alamo Endowment to design the master plan. The first draft of the master plan is expected to be complete this summer, and the $450 million project is expected to be complete in time for the Alamo's 300th birthday in 2024.
