UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEM

Plans to be unveiled for Brackenridge tract

Two plans for redeveloping the Brackenridge tract in West Austin will be presented June 18 at a public meeting of the UT System Board of Regents.

"The board will not be taking action on the plans that day," said Anthony de Bruyn, a spokesman for the system. Officials will study the plans and hold a public comment session in the fall, he said.

Cooper, Robertson & Partners LLP, a New York City-based planning firm, is under contract with the regents to produce at least two conceptual master plans for the 345-acre tract along Lake Austin Boulevard in West Austin.

The June meeting, the time of which has not been set, will be in the board room of Ashbel Smith Hall, 201 W. Seventh St. It will be Webcast live at www.utsystem.edu/bor/meetings.htm.
