休斯敦市長之大計劃

休斯敦第一機構和大商會共同主辦的本年席惠特曼市長市政報告會週二中午在市中心希爾敦大酒店舉行，一千六百位市府官員及工商社區領袖應邀出席，把整個會塲擠得水洩不通。

惠特曼市長在會中報告其就任以來之市政報告，他認為治安工作是重中之重。他認為沒有良好之環境對市政之推動非常不利,而治安工作是他競選時之最重要政見。

他同時宣佈,在市中心將規劃非常龎大之另一個會展中心,並預計二0二八年前完工，屆時將把隣近目前會展中心幾十畝空地全面規劃成為休斯敦會展區,可以加倍接納更多之展會在休斯敦市舉辦,同時帶動文化娛樂及工商活動。

我們對於市長之大計劃表示熱烈之支持,這也是新人新政之𠍇出表現和作為。

我也非常榮幸被市長任命為休斯敦第一機構之董事之一,負責規劃和執行這項會展區之大計劃。

The Mayor Of Houston‘s Big Plan

This year the State of the City Luncheon sponsored by HoustonFirst and the Greater Houston Partnership was held at the American Hilton Hotel downtown in Houston on Tuesday. More than1,600 city officials and business and community leaders were invited to attend and filled up the whole banquet hall of the hotel.
Mayor John Whitmire gave his report of the city and said that public safety is his top priority. The mayor believes that the lack of a safe environment does not help our economy. He stressed that the improvement of safety is the most important issue facing the city right now.
At the same time, he announced that a very big convention and exhibition center is now being planned and that a new Conventional District will be created in downtown Houston. When the project is completed in 2028, it will double our space to host more conventions in the city and will drive more cultural, entertainment and commercial activities in the greater Houston area.
We fully support our Mayor‘s big plan. I am also honored to have been appointed by the Mayor as one of the Board Members of HoustonFirst Corporation which is responsible for this big project. We will do our best to make it a great success for the city.
