Quotes from Stakeholders

• “We have the unique opportunity to fill the needs in a way that compliments our city’s landscape, and West Texas country character.
Quotes from Stakeholders
• “A carefully planned public- private partnership that ‐results in a functional blend of improved lake access and supporting infrastructure for residents, open space/greenbelt areas, selectively approved economic development activities by private investors that do not negatively impact existing recreational activities for San Angelo residents, and non- ‐motorized connectivity enhancements that mitigate motorized vehicle traffic issues and promote increased physical activity on the part of residents and visitors.”

• Erosion (dredging and other mitigations)
• Storm water management
