From the meeting
At its October 13, 2026 meeting materials, zoo staff said managers reviewed final construction documents and estimated budgets for three future projects: bird viewing/holding, new camel and Asian wild horse barns, and a new 7th Street drive-in entrance. The work is still in planning, with Hutton and GMCN involved on the design side. Facilities planning and budget shaping are the current buying signals.
The next useful conversation is about scope, phasing, and how these projects will be funded and sequenced.
