City leaders and officials gathered on Tuesday for the Austin Chamber’s Infrastructure Summit to discuss the progress and challenges of several transformative projects set to reshape Austin over the next decade.
Leaders expressed optimism about managing what they called an “historic” period for the city while acknowledging the growing pains ahead as they prepare for an overlap of several major infrastructure initiatives. This includes light rail development, the Interstate 35 expansion projects, building the new Austin Convention Center and downtown revitalization efforts.
