X Park gets critical environmental permit,
set for summer groundbreaking
Austin Business Journal - 2:42 PM CDT Wednesday, March 28, 2007
The Texas X Park--the multifaceted recreational complex that could make Leander a major destination--has received an environmental permit from the U.S. Corps of Engineers. The permit was the last hurdle the project needed to secure its funding, paving the way for a groundbreaking on the $18 million first phase later this summer.
Leander Capital Investors, led by Matt Tolbert, is developing the 205-acre X Park that will include facilities for a skate park, climbing walls, BMX tracks and beach volleyball, just to name a few. The construction time on the first phase is expected to be eight months, setting the X Park up for a possible spring 2008 opening.
