A design-build agreement with DPR Construction for the city s planned downtown convention center hotel is on Thursday s Abilene City Council agenda.
Also to be discussed are a number of plans for airport improvements and appointment of a board to study an entertainment district downtown. This is not a notice to proceed, City Manager Robert Hanna clarified in a media briefing Monday. So it doesn t mean we approve this and then we suddenly start construction on the hotel.
The step is an important one, Hanna said, though exactly when the project would start seeing overt forward motion still is dynamic. If I knew exactly the date, I d have an agenda item on here that talks about issuing debt, he said. So I don t have that date certain yet.
