This morning, the District 8 team had the opportunity to tour the Austin Convention Center redevelopment site and get a firsthand look at the work underway!
We last visited the site in September 2025, while demolition was wrapping up, so it was great to see how much has changed over the past year.
Thank you to the project team for showing us around and sharing updates on the progress being made.

You may be eligible for a rebate through Austin Energy!
In 2022, I brought forward a resolution to make e-bikes more affordable and accessible across Austin.

If you’ve been thinking about hosting a block party with your neighbors, now is a great time to start planning. 🥳
In 2021, I led the effort to make Austin’s block party process easier and more accessible for residents across the city.
Through Austin’s Neighborhood Block Party Program, residents on eligible streets can temporarily close their block to traffic and create more space to gather, celebrate, and spend time with neighbors.
