CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â The new Cole Park Pier construction has begun on the Corpus Christi Bayfront.
City Manager Peter Zanoni shared a photo of construction teams working on the estimated $7.5 million dollar pier Thursday.
It took about two weeks for crews to tear down the previous 50-year-old pier, after it was deemed unsafe in April 2018. An inspection showed that the pier was beyond repair.
In September of last year, Asst. City Manager Keith Selman said there were a lot of requests in common for what the new pier should include.

There s news tonight about a couple of longtime city employees who are retiring this week.
Assistant City Manager Keith Selman was promoted to the Assistant CM position back in 2017 overseeing six departments including parks and recreation and solid waste services.
At one-point last year, he served as interim city manager and was even considered a candidate for the permanent job. Of course, the city ultimately chose Peter Zanoni to fill that seat.
