$450M Alamo Plan Would Triple Size Of Plaza At Historic Site

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Officials overseeing the $450 million facelift of the Alamo want to triple the size of the historic plaza in downtown San Antonio, close streets, raze up to four buildings and move a 60-foot monument.
Details of the plan were released Thursday by the city, the nonprofit Alamo Endowment and General Land Office, which manages the Texas shrine.
The ground in some places would be lowered more than a foot to the level at the time of the 1836 battle with Mexican forces. Plans
