HemisFair pushes plan to expand site and travel center
City officials weigh adding 32 acres to HemisFair site including the water garden mall near Commerce and Market Streets. If purchased, most private buildings would be razed for an open space park with a winding waterway and lagoon system. Urban Renewal hopes to complete appraisal by mid July with a travel center across Market Street to support airlines and buses.

San Antonio Urban Renewal OKs HemisFair Expansion
San Antonio Urban Renewal Agency commissioners approve expanding the HemisFair site from 92 to 124 acres, though the city council has not yet approved the expansion. A 32 acre addition is under debate. Appraisers will release figures in four months. The agency negotiates a 60 day extension for Washington Square users and resumes utility payments after a temporary shutoff. Washington Square users are to be relocated with agency help. A separate note: Longview bids for 1965 East Texas Chamber convention, with 27 mayors supporting.
