Two New Hotels to Elevate San Antonio Growth Pace
An eventful week marks plans for two hotels in San Antonio each over half a million dollars in cost, one on Travis and Nevarro streets to begin November 1 and finish January 16. The Winslow apartment sale on Houston Street moves the hotel project forward, with Hart and associates pushing completion soon. Property values on the thoroughfare rise as these projects promise a bustling era of development and a wide building surge expected next fall and winter. Harris County eyes a 410000 courthouse, possibly climbing toward a million as work proceeds, while even inmates discuss Bailey questions. The school board shifts noon recess to a longer period for child welfare, half an hour not enough for meals and travel.
