After years of waiting, the city of Austin's economic development department finally moved to the next phase of redevelopment at the St. John's site in northeast Austin.
"We're very happy that this large crowd came out this morning to celebrate what will end up being a very historical day in our community," Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said.
The St. John's site is roughly 19 acres of city-owned land. Council member Vela says the land has been vacant for far too long. Congressman Greg Casar, who is the former council member for District 4, was also in attendance Saturday morning, and says he is happy to see that the city of Austin is finally moving forward on this project he has worked hard for.
