San Antonio Zoo

Tax subsidy sometimes used for affordable housing redirected to Broadway attractions north of downtown San Antonio

February 23, 2022 By Ben Olivo 1 Comment

The San Antonio Zoo is considering several improvement projects totaling around $50 million including a gorilla enclosure, renovations to existing buildings and a completely new front gate.

A financial tool used to help fund affordable housing was recently repurposed for the San Antonio Zoo, the Witte Museum, Garden and Brackenridge Park, a move that has some nonprofit developers scratching their heads.
