Local nonprofit Austin Planetarium received approval Wednesday from the Texas Facilities Commission to proceed with its proposal to develop a $240 million mixed-use project that includes a science and technology museum at Congress Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The Commission's approval yesterday allows the Planning and Real Estate Division to perform a conceptual evaluation on the proposal to transform State Parking Lot 7 into what would include the largest planetarium in the state.
“We cannot start a capital campaign until we have a lease agreement, and this is a huge step towards that," Torvald Hessel, executive director of the Austin Planetarium, said in a press release.
