VIA officials and DreamOn Group hope the multimillion-dollar project to redevelop the Scobey Complex will pay off for the community.
Rene Garcia and Julissa Carielo, partners at DreamOn Group, stand in front of the Scobey Complex, which they hope will become a neighborhood-supported, mixed-use development with transit close by.Transit-oriented developments number in the hundreds across the country, in cities like Dallas, Denver and Philadelphia. By late summer, San Antonio could see plans for its first such community start to take shape.Centro Plaza on the city’s West Side in the nearby Scobey Complex.
“It’s a transformational project for the community,” Carielo said. “We thought because of the area where it’s located and because it’s been abandoned for so long … we can bring it back to life in a way that can impact the community by helping provide a place to live, a place to work and a place to enjoy and have fun.
The West Side is one of the poorest areas in San Antonio and has long suffered from disinvestment. The Bexar County jail is just across the railroad tracks from the Scobey Complex, and Haven for Hope, a nonprofit serving people experiencing homelessness, sits to the north. District 5 Councilwoman Teri Castrillo has heard from residents voicing concerns about the development hastening displacement and gentrification, she said.
“At the same time, there is an understanding that this property has been sitting vacant for a while and needs to be activated.”The Federal Transportation Administration started awarding grants to transit-oriented development planning projects in 2015, with over $13 million handed out to 19 projects in 14 states in 2022.
