“We are so excited to begin work on the project and continue to grow the Riverwalk and its impact on the community,” said Lynn Clark, HARP Executive Director. “The entertainment opportunities within the new addition are endless, and will allow us to grow our current programs and events for both locals and visitors.”
The $15.9 million expansion contract was awarded to H.W. Houston. The project will extend the river channel to Santa Fe Ave. and build a multi-use boathouse. Construction will begin in June 2024 and the project is estimated to take 18-24 months.
Summer events and entertainment on the Riverwalk will continue as planned. The HARP Authority will provide construction updates and timelines as the project continues.
