San Antonio city manager Erik Walsh discussed the huge responsibility and critical need to keep up with infrastructure and service demands over the next 10-15 years Sunday morning on Leading SA.
– San Antonio is experiencing tremendous growth as one of the fastest-growing areas in the country, especially in the corridor that connects with Austin.
“San Antonio belongs to everybody, and it’s not just for visitors,” Walsh said. “It’s a core part of the city and a huge economic driver.” Maintaining existing infrastructure is also a balancing act amid the rapid growth. Major street construction projects are currently underway, with even more coming from the approved 2022 bond program starting in 18 months.
The San Antonio International Airport, a $5 billion economic impact asset, is a key infrastructure priority.A record 10.7 million passengers passed through in 2022 as the airport facilitated the visitor industry’s bounce back and business/trade connectivity.
