“I think I’ve shown that it doesn’t have to take forever to get some things done. We made a needed change in city manager. We’ve held the line on taxes. We’ve cut spending. We’ve taken a serious look at audits of 380s. We’ve strived to make people accountable. Those things need to continue."

It became our playground, and it provided the space to have those moments of just calm and relaxation and recreation,” she said. Read the full story: https://bit.ly/3W89LOX

El Paso Inc. was invited inside La Nube for a sneak peek ahead of the center’s Aug. 10 opening. La Nube is a massive four-story complex of soaring gentle arches that houses a remarkable assemblage of learning tools designed to highlight STEAM concepts – science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics – in an array of towering structures and rolling exhibits powered by advanced hands-on technology. “We are not a children’s museum.

The center, funded by the city’s 2012 quality of life bond initiative, is organized as a public-private partnership guided so far by the El Paso Community Foundation. It will exist as an independent nonprofit after its opening. Clips provided by Robert Gray and Ruben R. Ramirez #lanube915 #lanubemuseum
