About the Project
 

The City of Austin owns more than 100 acres of land near the intersection of Grove Boulevard and East Riverside Drive. We are launching a community driven visioning process to identify the types of community benefits that should be prioritized as we explore how this site could be planned as a cohesive, vibrant neighborhood serving both current and future residents of the East Riverside Corridor. 

As part of this effort, we’re inviting community members and stakeholders to participate in outreach and engagement activities that will help shape a shared vision—one that reflects the needs, values, and aspirations of the people who live, work, and spend time in this part of Austin. 

The Grove–Riverside Site is also located within several major, ongoing initiatives, including Project Connect, Austin Light Rail, and the East Riverside Planning and Equitable Transit Oriented Development (ETOD) efforts. These overlapping initiatives create a unique opportunity to coordinate planning and align priorities for community benefits for the East Riverside neighborhoods.
