Construction is funded through a public-private partnership that includes $20 million in bond funds from the city of Dallas, $20 million in highway funds from the state and federal government through the Texas Department of Transportation and $20 million from private donations.
In March, the Park was selected to receive $16.7 million in stimulus funds that are specifically for transportation enhancement construction.
The project is being managed by Parker-based Bjerke Management Solutions and the design is led by James Burnett of Houston and Dallas-based Jacobs Engineering Group.
