 休斯敦國際區天橋將抜地而起

在今午由我主持召開之休斯敦國際區執委會議中， 委員們聽取了最新的國際區天橋音樂文化博物館園區之設計藍圖。

會中決議在下次執行委員會中將提交由建築師提出之預算進行表決後實施。

國際區之天橋計劃將列為第一期工程， 這座橫跨百利大道之人走道， 將是一道進入國際區之大門。設計非常現代化 ，而且配有巨型LED 國際區標誌， 並在橋上顕示多種文字之歡迎標語。

在整個計劃中將分成三大部份， 第二期計劃工程是興建四層高的國際文化博物館及室外音樂廣場， 以供民眾做為戶外音樂表演塲地及展示各族裔文化 ，全面發掦多元種族之多元文化。

我們深信美國之強大是因為千萬不斷來自世界各地的移民貢獻了他們的青春和智慧，共同建造這塊土地， 而國際區就是最佳之例証。

The International Gate Will Rise

At today’s Houston International District board meeting we reviewed the blueprints presented by architect C C Lee for the International Gate, the International Culture Museum and the Outdoor Music Theater.

The Board decided that in the next meeting we will review the budget proposed by the firm.

The International Gate will be the first phase of our plan. This bridge will be designed with very modern LED signs and with many welcome messages in different languages.

We are convinced that the strength of our country has been built by tens of millions of immigrants from all over the world. They devoted their whole lives and energy to come over here to call the U.S. their home.

We are very proud that we are building this model project for the rest of the country to show our different cultural heritages.

We hope the gate will be the first step for our district to improve our community life.
