The ceremony took place at 4812 Gonzales Street, the 18-acre site of the former Anita Ferrales Coy school. Phase 1 of the project will include 341 units across two multi-story buildings. Half of the units will be rent and income-restricted. Ten percent will be reserved for households earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income, with another 40% set aside for those earning up to 80% AMI. The remaining units will be offered at market rate."This development is designed to expand quality housing options for cost-burdened residents and essential workers," The NRP Group said. Speakers at Friday's groundbreaking included Austin City Council Member Jose Velasquez of District 3, AISD Superintendent Matias Segura, and representatives from project financial partners Goldman Sachs and Clarion Partners. The site sits within a federally designated Opportunity Zone, a classification established under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 intended to encourage investment in historically underserved communities.Plans for the development include a publicly accessible green space with preserved heritage trees, walking paths, and art installations from local artists, alongside resident amenities including a pool, fitness center and co-working lounge.New polling suggests runoff likely in Texas GOP Senate primary The latest polling of Texas voters continues to show a close Republican primary race as John Cornyn defends his seat in the U.S. Senate.According to a FebruaryTwo of Texas' Most Wanted criminals were captured in Houston and Waco in recent weeks by Texas DPS.Authorities arrested 40-year-old Carl James Hegert at an aparWith one day remaining in early voting, turnout in the Texas primary election has been high from the start, with Democratic voters outpacing Republicans in partDeputies in Brazos County are searching for a woman who was last seen on Wednesday afternoon in Bryan.The Brazos County Sheriff's Office says that 53-year-old N
