Look West
Breakfast Highlights Development
On March 26, 2010, the Westside Development
Corporation (WDC) and Our Lady of the Lake University
(OLLU) co-hosted the Look West
Breakfast, a new series designed to
highlight development in the Westside. The event,
attended by approximately 100 people, featured
presentations by WDC Executive Director Ray Flores, OLLU
President Dr. Tessa Martinez-Pollack, and Capital One
Bank's Mark Koshnick. District 5 City Councilperson
David Medina also addressed the attendees. Mr. Flores'
presentation included an explanation about the tools
that are available to help redevelop or to bring new
development to the inner city, the WDC's priorities and
accomplishments, the need for collaboration, corridors
of activity, and opportunities for economic growth. Dr.
Martinez-Pollack presented an update on OLLU since the
campus fire that took place almost a year ago. The next
Look West Breakfast will take place in September at St.
Mary's University.

The
University Health System
Hosts
a
Public Forum on Major
Expansion to
University Health Center
- Downtown
|
| |
On
February 22, 2010, the
WDC and UHS will hosted
a
public presentation
of the plans to
significantly expand the
UHS-Downtown campus,
formerly known as The
Robert B. Green
Hospital, built in 1915.
The project is called
the Target 2012: Capital
Improvement Program.
The
combined investment in
the expansion of the
Downtown campus and the
University Hospital in
the Medical Center is
$899.4 million. This
investment is larger
than the construction of
the Alamodome, SBC
Center (now AT&T), and
Henry B. Gonzalez
Convention Center
combined.
The project will also
revitalize the Westside
of San Antonio,
providing greater access
to the latest outpatient
diagnostic and treatment
options in a convenient
location.
The
Downtown campus will
expand:
-
Acute and crisis
care services
-
Diagnostic imaging
-
Pharmacy services
-
Parking
