Events Center remodel
Summary
The Lauro G. Leon Floresville Events Center has a leaking roof, rusted structural beams, non-ADA entrances, and no drainage plan — surface flow floods the baseball field west of the building, creating a sinkhole being studied with the San Antonio River Authority. The council approved $506,800 in design work now; the roughly $6.2 million construction would likely be financed with a debt issuance around 2029-2030.
