Vision San Antonio

I invite you to view a new television program on our City’s Government Access Channel, TVSA, called Vision San Antonio. This new program highlights City-related topics and events that are taking place in our community.

Our first program centers on the City’s new Eastside Reinvestment Initiative. This Initiative is a break through City enterprise that benefits eastside residents, business owners, and the San Antonio as a whole. The Eastside Reinvestment Initiative focuses on a range of topics, including stimulating economic development opportunities, neighborhood revitalization and improved neighborhood safety.


Highlights of the program include a discussion with District 2 Councilwoman Ivy Taylor regarding the objectives and early accomplishments of the Eastside Reinvestment Initiative. In addition, Mayor Julian Castro provided a message to the community regarding his commitment to revitalizing the Eastside of San Antonio. Police Chief William McManus and San Antonio Police Captain Mark Witherell provided a progress report on the City’s coordinated efforts between Police, Code Compliance Enforcement and Animal Care Services in the corridors and target areas of the Initiative.


You can view Vision San Antonio on Monday's at 1:00 p.m., Wednesday's at 7:30 p.m., Friday's at 8:30 a.m. and immediately following the replay of the City Council meetings on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
