San Antonio Missions Boundary Survey & Land Protection Plan
Hello Everyone,
Here is a message from the NPS - SA Missions:
San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (Park) is conducting a Boundary Study and developing a Land Protection Plan (LPP) for associated lands outside the Park’s current boundary. The Boundary Study will evaluate several areas in Bexar and Wilson counties to determine their historic significance and association with the Spanish colonial missions of San Antonio and the potential for including them within the Park’s boundary. Portions of the San Antonio River outside of downtown San Antonio will also be investigated for possible inclusion into the Park. The San Antonio River is the fundamental reason for the establishment of the missions and is vital to the preservation, pubic enjoyment, and interpretation of existing Park resources.
The Park has produced a Boundary Study Newsletter and public comment form that can be viewed online at www.parkplanning.nps.gov/saan. Comments may be submitted electronically through this web site. Alternately you can request a printed copy of the newsletter and comment form by contacting the park at 210-534-8833.
The park will host five public meetings to discuss the boundary study and solicit opinions from the public from April 19 through April 21. Times and locations are:
1) Monday, April 19, 2010 | San Antonio Missions National Historical Park Visitor Center | 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM | 6701 San Jose Drive | San Antonio, TX 78214
2) Tuesday, April 20, 2010 | San Antonio River Authority Headquarters | 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM | 100 E. Guenther | San Antonio, TX 78204
