'San Antonio-based firm Overland Partners has released plans for a binational
border park between Mexico and the United States that will be built along the
Rio Grande.

The design incorporates 6.3 miles of land over a thousand acres on both sides
of the river, which is known as Rio Bravo in Mexico, connecting the cities of
Laredo in Texas and Nuevo Laredo in Tamaulipas.

Overland Partners was selected to lead the project alongside Able City, a local
architect studio in Laredo, through a public submission process.

The team was selected during a meeting between officials from both countries,
held to facilitate tourism, trade, and economic growth for the states on both
sides of the border.

"The cities had envisioned over 40 individual projects on both sides of the
river that would contribute to the restoration of the site ecology, the
celebration of their joint culture, and revitalisation of the economy," said
Rick Archer and Barbara Warren of Overland Partners.'
