SAN ANGELO — Visitors traveling along Concho Avenue to San Angelo's historic downtown district will now be welcomed by a new archway installed as part of efforts to revitalize the area.
Crews installed the archway Wednesday, March 31, 2021, at the corner of Randolph and Concho Ave, a project that includes the placement of 12 historic street lights along the Concho Ave. corridor from Koenigheim to Randolph.
"The archway will stand tall welcoming all those who travel to downtown seeking art, dining, shopping, and entertainment," wrote Del Velasquez, Executive Director of Downtown San Angelo, Inc. in a news release.
Velasquez stated initial discussions of creating a gateway and well-lit entryway into historic downtown began in 2007, then became a reality in 2019 after financial contributions by the San Angelo Area Foundation, San Angelo Health Foundation, First Financial Bank, and San Angelo YMCA.
