Share your vision for Holly Point
Monday, December 2, 2019 by Tai Moses
Come to an open house to learn about plans for the next phase of the Holly Point Project, an expanded trail and wetland restoration project within Holly Shores/Edward Rendon Sr. Metropolitan Park at Festival Beach. The event, hosted by the Trail Foundation and Austin Parks and Recreation Department, is a follow-up to the first community engagement event that took place last June. According to the press release, “The Holly Project site is located just west of the decommissioned Holly Power Plant, adjacent to the lagoon and baseball fields. Proposed improvements anticipate the transition of the decommissioned Holly Power Plant into parkland and how that will impact the Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail.” Meet the project team, review the plans, ask questions, offer input, and enjoy coffee and breakfast tacos on the house. Saturday, Dec. 7, 10 a.m.-noon, Lorraine Camacho Activity Center, 35 Robert T. Martinez Jr. St.
