SAN ANTONIO – Centro San Antonio, Visit San Antonio, District 3 Councilwoman Phyllis Viagran, and other city officials held a pep rally on Friday to recognize the approval of Propositions A and B.
The pep rally featured remarks from Centro San Antonio President & CEO Trish DeBerry, Viagran, and others to highlight how the propositions pave the way for the downtown sports and entertainment district.
“Together, we’ll honor the will of the voter and take the next steps toward creating a world-class Sports & Entertainment District that transforms the heart of downtown San Antonio,” a news release said.
DeBerry called the outcome of Propositions A and B historic, saying it will revive the heartbeat of downtown and the broader community.
“This has never been about just an arena. This has been about how do we lift people up. And that rising tide is going to do just that,” she said.
Viagran emphasized teamwork and momentum at the pep rally.
“As the chair of the economic workforce development committee, this is about moving forward together,” Viagran said. “City leaders, businesses, residents, and partners, we are reaffirming our commitment to our community.”
The pep rally also encouraged community engagement, with Viagran inviting Bexar County residents to make their voices heard by scanning a QR code.
