The Lone Star Brewery development passed a major milestone on Wednesday.
The $709 million dollar project got the nod of approval from the San Antonio Workforce and Economic Development Committee.
The committee gave their unanimous approval for full city council consideration to turn the old 32 acres of brewery grounds into a mix of retail and living space. The brewery on Lone Star Boulevard near St. Mary s closed a quarter of a century ago.
It sits in the district of Councilwoman Shirley Gonzales, who said it will take a decade to design, demolish and construct the project in three phases. They will conserve the parts that are historical and meaningful and then of course demolish those that are not able to salvaged and don t seem to have a new purpose, said Gonzales.
