‘Really big impact’: Construction starts soon on San Antonio’s World Heritage Center
. At the beginning of this month, City Council approved a $9.3 million construction contract with the Sabinal Group.
Bond money from 2017 and 2022 is funding the project, and the Tricentennial Commission donated $845,000 to cover the cost of the veranda. Local artist Adriana Garcia designed the veranda to include symbols that matter to indigenous people in the area, including a water bird and nopal, or prickly pear. The water bird represents life and nopal resilience. Flowers on the veranda were inspired by designs painted on some of the missions and represent life and growth.“That’s what makes the San Antonio missions special,” she said. “It’s not just the buildings. It’s the people and the culture that still surrounds the site.
District 3 Councilwoman Phyllis Viagran looks forward to the “flow and the flexibility” the center will provide.
