AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – San Antonio is teaming up with state officials to create a master plan for a makeover of the Alamo and its surrounding plaza, hoping a major face-lift can again make the iconic site worthy of its “Remember the Alamo” rallying cry.
The plan will focus on revamping the Alamo as part of a larger look of the surrounding grounds. The project comes after state reports in recent years detailed some disrepair, including cracked, leaky roofs and rising damp on the walls. Last month, Texas ended its contract with the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, which had overseen the Alamo since 1905.
