In San Antonio leaders overseeing a 450-million dollar upgrade at The Alamo have released their final plans for the historic site.
Those plans include tripling the size of the site, closing some streets, taking down four buildings and moving a 60-foot monument.
It’s being organized by the city, the Texas General Land Office and the non-profit Alamo Endowment.
The announcement comes days after a leaked state audit was critical of oversight at The Alamo.
The findings of that audit were pretty similar to the one that was released to the public.
But when it was leaked Land Commissioner George P. Bush’s campaign called it “fake news.”
“The regretful aspect of a political campaign is that one of our employees leaked a rough draft and then added his own edits and comments to the latter portions of the memorandum,” Bush said. “So even though the conclusions and recommendations may largely be the same, there are some differences, and we’ve already proactively been working on these recommendations to ameliorate all of them.”
Bush went on to say “the point of all this is that an employee leaked a confidential document and that breaches the trust of the public.”
He said the audit was the first of its kind in The Alamo’s history.
