There will be an update on Thursday regarding the Dallas Water Commons project.
It is a joint venture between the Dallas Wetlands Foundation and the City of Dallas that promises to transform part of the city near the downtown area and the Great Trinity Forest.
The project, which is partially funded by a 2017 bond package, is an ambitious undertaking that will transform 17 acres of urban wetlands.
The area is being touted as an urban oasis with flood management systems, water filtration systems, living classrooms and a public park.
