“The Austin City Council approved about $13 million Thursday for designing and building the city’s Mexican American Cultural Center, an idea that has been stewing for 30 years.

The council also accepted a construction donation from an Austin-based contractor for building parts of downtown’s soon-to-be Town Lake Park. Council members also heard a presentation from a private firm that assessed downtown retail and proposed implementing a strategy to increase retail opportunities on Congress Avenue.”
