I got a chance to stop by the project at the end of November, and the contractors were working on the final phase of the project and are now polishing off some of the finishing touches. The ribbon cutting ceremony is currently set for next week. The new park and pier are well worth the wait! The canopy looks fantastic, and the new amenities, which include a wider walkway for fishing and sightseers, an observation deck with seating, and state of the art lighting will have residents and tourists in awe from opening day. It is an inspiring comeback for the City of Corpus Christi after Hurricane Harvey.
