SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 16
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Proud residents of Harris County are celebrating |
|
|
the grand opening of the George H. W. Bush Community Center on |
|
|
June 21, 2023; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Located in the heart of the Cypress Creek Cultural |
|
|
District, the 24,500-square-foot George H. W. Bush Community |
|
|
Center features a grand hall, a kitchen, a meeting room that |
|
|
seats 700 people, and classrooms, as well as space for public |
|
|
events and other activities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The facility previously belonged to the Cypress |
|
|
Creek Christian Church and dates back to the 1970s, when the |
|
|
Cypress Creek Christian Community Center partnered with 24 local |
|
|
nonprofit organizations in an effort to provide valuable services |
|
|
to area residents and a gathering place for community groups; while |
|
|
the center flourished over the next several decades, flooding |
|
|
caused by Hurricane Harvey inflicted severe damage on the building |
|
|
in 2017, and it was purchased by Harris County Precinct 4 the |
|
|
following year; the project was later inherited by Precinct 3 due |
|
|
to redistricting, and construction on the new George H. W. Bush |
|
|
Community Center began in November 2021; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The George H. W. Bush Community Center will |
|
|
benefit the residents of Harris County for many years to come, |
|
|
and it is a pleasure to join in recognizing the vision, |
|
|
leadership, and hard work that have helped bring this project to |
|
|
fruition; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commemorate the grand |
|
|
opening of the George H. W. Bush Community Center and commend all |
|
|
those involved in the establishment of the center for their |
|
|
outstanding efforts; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the center as an expression of high regard from |
|
|
the Texas Senate. |
