| |
|
Rep. Doris Matsui joined Mayor Heather Fargo on October 20 at the Sacramento River Water Intake Facility to dedicate the Facility and adjacent 6.5 acre park and name it in honor of the late Congressman Robert T. Matsui. Mayor Fargo commented, "It is a great honor to recognize the many contributions of Sacramento's late Congressman, Robert T. Matsui. As our Representative in Washington D.C., Bob's dedication and hard work provided federal resources to help increase flood protection in addition to many other necessary projects and programs for our residents. All of his work in Washington on our behalf helped make Sacramento a truly great City."
The six-acre park Robert T. Matsui Park and Water Intake Facility are located on one of the most beautiful stretches along the Sacramento River. The Park is a choice destination for pedestrians, bicyclists and sightseers. The Water Intake Facility is designed to look like a dragonfly floating on the water and features public art and a fountain that greets visitors in its plaza.
