南岸文化区仍然处于停滞状态,随着城市将资源和资金优先分配给其他文化区,任何实质性进展都将推迟至至少2027财政年度。

根据经济发展部临时主任安东尼·塞古拉的一份最近市政备忘录,尽管市议会指示支持该地区的经济和文化发展,但财务约束和政策优先事项的冲突意味着对该区的支持在接下来的一年内都不会到来,而该地区还在继续发展。

市议会最初批准南岸文化区,作为加强奥斯丁文化和经济区的更广泛努力的一部分。

该文化区旨在通过改善公共空间、文化节目以及对当地企业和艺术家的支持,增强南岸地区的文化底蕴,涵盖包括长中心、帕尔默活动中心、扎克剧院、多赫提艺术中心、乌姆劳夫雕塑花园以及部分祖尔克公园在内的区域。

在为任何新的文化区分配资源之前,城市承诺首先履行对已有文化区的义务,包括非裔美国人文化遗产区、第五街墨西哥裔美国人遗产走廊、红河文化区以及现有的Souly Austin区。因此,在财政年度27之前,将没有专门的人员或资金可用于南岸。

经济发展部目前专注于完成对已有文化区的承诺,包括基础设施项目和资金协议。

南岸与其他新兴文化区面临的一个主要障碍是城市缺乏结构化的资金机制。

历史上,文化区的资金都是临时性的,通过预算建议和特殊收入基金进行分配。为了解决这一问题,市议会指示经济发展部开发公平文化区资金模型,该模型预计将在2025年春季或夏季提交。

该模型旨在确保稳定的资金,考虑历史投资不足和经济影响等因素。

没有明确的资金来源,实施该模型的时间表仍然不确定。

南岸文化区包括公共和私人发展的混合体,但数项财务和资源限制正在减缓必要改善的进程,包括增加适合行人的步道和无障碍升级。

该区内正在考虑几个独立的市政项目,其中包括在2026年市政债券提案中提议的新多赫提艺术中心和对乌姆劳夫雕塑花园的重大改善。

备忘录指出,在完成对现有文化区的承诺后,市政府工作人员将根据经济与文化区框架政策开始新区的发展。

全面实施可能要等到2027年之后。

对文化区的延迟行动为南中央滨水区整体的发展带来了不确定性,该计划旨在指导对南湖湖西118亩的开发,以包括改善公共空间、可负担住房和文化设施。

该地区的进展因法律挑战、资金挫折和政策延误而受到影响。

“拯救我们的泉水联盟”在2024年5月对市政府提起诉讼,挑战州人计划单位发展批准,该计划允许在曾经的奥斯丁美洲州人报社的财产上进行高密度混合用途建筑的建设。

此外,特拉维斯县地方法院在2024年4月宣布无效一个拟议的税收增值再投资区,取消了该区域基础设施改善的重要资金来源。

2024年9月,市议会推迟通过南中央滨水区结合区和密度奖励计划,理由是需要进一步的审议。
