Winter, 2019/20 – Newsflash: we recently finished raising the full $250k match offered by Austin Parks Foundation! Big shout out to the Moody Foundation for getting us over the top and to the Still Water Foundation, the Austin Community Foundation and our friend & neighbor Colin Corgan for additional, major support for the project. Underlying it all were YOUR gifts – thanks so much to all our community members who pitched in!
These dollars enabled us to make awesome progress over the fall. The design has been fine-tuned (it’s even better now!) and we’ve made those hard decisions about what is essential now and what can be phased in later when revenue is coming in. We’re getting real close to finish of permitting & documents and recently made the first steps toward selection of our Gen Contractor – https://www.facebook.com/NorwoodParkAustin/
Stay tuned for more updates as we move along toward construction at the site in mid-2020.
We’re wrapping up 2019 by toasting Austin Parks Foundation for making ALL our parks better. Austin would not be the great parks city it is without APF!
