AUSTIN - Today, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush announced the Alamo Church and Long Barrack will undergo their most extensive conservation in more than a century. The General Land Office (GLO), the agency responsible for the Alamo on behalf of the people of Texas since 2011, has awarded a preservation contract to San Antonio firm Ford Powell & Carson and its partner, Preservation Design Partnership.
“Other states have history; Texas has legends,” Commissioner Bush said. “Texas history speaks to everyone who wants to be free. As a son of Texas and a veteran, I can think of no higher honor than leading the Alamo’s reinforcement today. We must conserve our heritage, and as long as I am the Alamo’s guardian, we will.”
