Advisory Board: Alamo Municipal Advisory Council
Subject: Livorna Park Improvements Project
Information:
The Livorna Park Improvements project is currently at the 65% design stage, with a total estimated cost of $4.09 million. While the overall layout and major systems are defined, costs are being refined as the project approaches final bidding decisions.
Please note: The Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) is reviewing the project to consider the elimination of specific high-cost items to manage the budget. It is critical to understand that any redesign of the current plans will result in additional costs and may impact the target opening date of July 2027.
