Community Bible Church Emmitt Park in San Antonio, TX

Community Bible Church filed a TDLR registration in April 2019 for a new 6-acre community park located at 2477 North Loop 1604 East in San Antonio’s Far North Central area. The filing, titled Community Bible Church Emmitt Park, lists an estimated cost of $1,350,000 and a total size of 24,000 square feet. Powers Goolsby Architects is the design firm of record for this new construction project on private land.

The project was registered with a target completion date of May 2020. However, no plan review or inspection has been recorded since the initial registration. Consequently, whether the construction proceeded to completion is not confirmed in the public TDLR record. The status remains Project Registered, with no further activity logged in the system.
