Yes, according to the article graphic, which unfortunately is not online but was on the front page of Saturday's paper, the Austin Energy parcel bounded by West, 3rd, and Shoal Creek is slated for redevelopment along with Green and all of the Seaholm stuff. I believe the city has issued a RFP or is getting ready to.

That's all I know, and of course the Statesman gets things wrong all the time... Maybe someone reading here has inside info and can confirm?
