CPS Energy plan to convey acre of land to San Antonio Museum of Art taking shape

One facet of the San Antonio Museum of Art’s ongoing quest to find more space to house and display its collections is moving closer to resolution.
The CPS Energy board voted Nov. 15 to convey to SAMA a 1-acre parcel of land adjacent to the museum.
CPS Energy Chief Administrative Officer Lisa Lewis said environmental cleanup associated with earlier use of the site is nearing completion. A survey of the property to determine exact boundary lines will be completed “within a few weeks,” she said, but the ultimate land-transfer timeline is uncertain.
The donation of the city-owned parcel is a reduction from an earlier offer of a 3.47-acre parcel, which includes a building formerly used as CPS administrative offices.
That offer, initiated in 2015, expired in 2019 without an agreement being reached, in part due to complications that arose from remediation issues involving the land and facilities, which CPS Energy has not used for a number of years. As a city-owned utility CPS Energy regularly reviews unused resources, including property, and may sell such assets to maximize customer benefit.
