DALLAS – (Oct. 28, 2014) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal partners are meeting to discuss the designation of San Antonio as an Urban Waters Partner. The partnership was formed to revitalize the San Antonio River Basin and improve the local area. This partnership will reconnect the urban communities, particularly those that are overburdened or economically distressed, with their waterways by improving coordination among federal agencies and collaborating with community-led revitalization efforts to improve the river basin and promote economic, environmental and social benefits.

The Urban Waters Partnership meeting is Oct. 29, 2014. This event provides with the public opportunities to engage federal partners over water resources and the project. The event will be held at the San Antonio Convention Center.
