I was wondering what the Project Kennedy was that the Eagle Pass City Council referenced on the council meeting and so I asked Bard.
Below my question and the answer.
The highway intersection part may be wrong since I-35 doesn't go though here, perhaps it meant loop 480 or US 277. The future shall see.
-------------------------
What is the Project Kennedy discussed during the Eagle Pass City Council meeting of July 6, 2023?
Project Kennedy is a proposed development project that would bring a new hotel, convention center, and retail space to Eagle Pass, Texas. The project is named after President John F. Kennedy, who was born in nearby Brookline, Massachusetts.
The project was discussed during the Eagle Pass City Council meeting on July 6, 2023. The council considered approving an interlocal agreement between the city and Maverick County Hospital District to allow the hospital district to issue bonds to finance the project. However, the council ultimately decided to table the item for further discussion.
The project is still in the early stages of development, and it is not yet clear when or if it will be completed. However, if it is built, Project Kennedy would be a major economic development for Eagle Pass. It would create new jobs, generate tax revenue, and attract visitors to the city.
Here are some additional details about Project Kennedy:
The project would be located on a 15-acre site at the intersection of I-35 and State Highway 57.
The hotel would have 150 rooms, and the convention center would have 100,000 square feet of space.
The retail space would include restaurants, shops, and a grocery store.
The project is estimated to cost $100 million.
The project is being developed by a group of local investors.
