The more than $400 million appropriations will play a pivotal role in implementing the Alamo Plan as designed and approved by the Texas Historical Commission and the San Antonio City Council. The Alamo Plan's three pillars include the preservation of the 300-year-old Church and Long Barrack, recapturing the original mission site and battlefield footprint, and creating a world-class Visitor Center and Museum. These efforts aim to restore reverence to this historic site, enhance visitor experiences, and provide a comprehensive understanding of the Alamo's rich heritage.

The funding allocated for the Visitor Center and Museum, scheduled to open in 2027, will ensure that visitors from around the world have access to a state-of-the-art facility that tells the complete story of the Alamo. This immersive experience will serve as a gateway to understanding the significance of the Alamo and its place in Texas history.

The completion of the Alamo Plan will not only safeguard the physical structures of the historic Alamo Church and Long Barrack but also honor the sacrifices made by the individuals who lived, fought, and died at the Alamo. Thanks to Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, GLO Commissioner Dr. Dawn Buckingham, and the Texas State Legislature, the historic site will stand as a testament to Texas' profound history and create a lasting connection with the Alamo for generations to come.
