Community meeting on Dove Springs health facility

As plans for a health center in Southeast Austin move forward, project officials are looking for feedback from the community on how the center will take shape. Using $16 million from the 2018 bond election, Austin Public Health and Austin Public Works are managing the construction of the Dove Springs Public Health Facility, which will consist of a neighborhood center, food pantry, health services and child care when complete. The meeting, which will take place on Sept. 21 from 6 until 7:30 p.m. at the George Morales Dove Springs Recreation Center, will discuss construction status, potential child care operators and artwork proposals for the space. Currently, the project is in its design phase.
