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.
