Mr. Austin was integral in the planning and design of the Harborwalk at Gilchrist Park from drafting the initial concept design approved by City of Punta Gorda leaders in 2009 to overseeing engineering design through several project phases throughout the 2010’s. The Harborwalk at Gilchrist Park transformed Gilchrist Park including a new streetscape along W Retta Esplanade to new park amenities, 15 to 20 foot wide shared use path, and new seawall for increased coastal resiliency.
