SAN ANTONIO — Texas officials have unveiled a nearly $32 million state effort to renovate the Alamo and the grounds of the historic mission with the public’s help.
Land Commissioner George P. Bush was in San Antonio on Wednesday to talk about the project, which also will include private donations to help cover the cost of the restoration.
The Alamo was the site of an 1836 battle that preceded the climactic battle for Texas independence.
Authorities plan an updated museum for Alamo objects and other artifacts. About 200 pieces were donated last year by musician Phil Collins.
San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor said city officials are working on a master plan for the Alamo and its plaza. The Alamo in July was named a World Heritage Site by a UNESCO committee, drawing more international attention to the venerable location.
