More police presence is coming to one of San Antonio’s fastest-growing areas in the heart of the city.
San Antonio police and City of San Antonio officials broke ground Friday on a new substation on St. Mary’s Street that is being built in response to the high number of businesses, homeowners and people visiting the area daily.
The nearly $22 million project is expected to be completed by early 2024. The two-story building will be approximately 24,000 square feet.“It’s all about the growth in the area,” said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus. “It’s going to be much better for the neighborhood. It’s going to make people feel safe. It’ll be a landmark for the strip here.
Officials said the proximity of the substation to the St. Mary’s Strip and the busy nightlife in the area would also benefit businesses and residents when it comes to crime.
