Dubbed the Swift Building, the project will include more than 60,000 square feet of renovated space for retail, small offices and up to six restaurants – all with patios overlooking the popular hike-and-bike trail. As they did at M-K-T, the developers plan to revamp the green space between their property and the trail, adding fresh landscaping and pathways inviting pedestrians into the project. Construction is expected to begin at the end of 2024 and wrap in 2025, with restaurants likely moving in 2026. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/swift-building-redevelopment-heights-houston-19408803.php

A Colorado-based entertainment and hospitality firm is bringing the largest music venue in its portfolio to North Texas. Notes Live will debut its $220M Sunset Amphitheater in McKinney following approval of a development deal for the project.

The 46-acre facility will include 250 luxury fire pit suites, a reserved seating area, a landscaped grass berm and owners suites. The venue is designed to accommodate major touring acts and is slated to put McKinney on the map as a live music destination.

When I went to my mothers for the Total Eclipse I started to take 1604 around to bypass IH10 through downtown. 1604 was under construction at 3 different places and traffic was backed up for miles in stop and go traffic but mostly stopped. First chance I got to turn around and get back on IH 10 I did. I then realized why I hate taking that route. There are 2 single lane exits to get off IH and get back on it. Whoever designed that part of IH 10 around the west side of downtown San Antonio should be tarred and feathered. Then you have to decide if you want the elevated portion or the lower deck.🤬 One single lane on the main southern IH Interstate Highway system just to stay one it, one.

Texas is receiving $26.9 million for improvements to the Port of Houston, including 30 new zero-emission, short-haul trucks and portable electric chargers for battery electric vehicle trucks to make zero-emission technology accessible and more affordable to owners and operators of small trucking fleets. It will also pay for the installation of new automated terminal operating systems to reduce truck idling times. https://highways.dot.gov/newsroom/grants-help-reduce-truck-air-pollution-ports?_gl=1*vsx8en*_ga*MTY3NDY2Nzc4NC4xNjkyODg5NjUw*_ga_VW1SFWJKBB*MTcxMzk3NjEzMS4yLjEuMTcxMzk3Njg5OC4wLjAuMA.. Thirty new electric trucks are coming to Port Houston, as part of a federal program aimed at reducing pollution around America's ports. Transportation officials announced Wednesday that Port Houston would receive $26.9 million for new short-haul trucks, portable chargers and other upgrades at the cargo center. “Investing in our ports to improve air quality and reduce pollution while modernizing infrastructure and strengthening supply chains is not only the right thing but also the smart thing," said Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Houston, who represents the areas west of the port. "What we are doing here is not only environmental justice but will help to transform the lives of thousands of workers and lay the groundwork for a brighter, more resilient future for our port." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/transportation/article/port-houston-ev-trucks-federal-grant-19420329.php
