we gradually take steps to reopen, we recognize that the full recovery will take several years, but when we work together, we put ourselves in the best position to manage the virus and rebound from it.”
Mayor Turner addressed the protests
and demonstrations that took place after the death of George Floyd, pointing to his Complete Communities initiative as a way of combatting racial inequity.
"In June 2019, the Complete Communities initiative expanded to five additional neighborhoods – Alief-Westwood, Fort Bend Houston, Kashmere
Gardens, Magnolia Park-Manchester, and Sunnyside, where we are working to revitalize and transform Houston’s most under-resourced neighborhoods and create a more equitable and prosperous city for all Houstonians. The pro-active response to racial inequity
and social injustice is Complete Communities," said Mayor Turner.
