Nassau Bay Art Spire Officially Unveiled

NASSAU BAY ART SPIRE OFFICIALLY UNVEILEDOn Thursday, July 16th, the City of Nassau Bay officially unveiled the Nassau Bay art spire, which was created to recognize how ongoing collaboration can benefit businesses, communities, and ultimately the entire region. Texas Representative Dennis Paul, Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia, the Nassau Bay City Council, and other community leaders joined the ceremony in support of this three-year project that embraces the relationship between NASA Johnson Space Center and the City of Nassau Bay. The art monument is located at the corner of NASA Parkway and Space Center Boulevard.

What once was vast farmland has grown tremendously into a vibrant area of aeronautical and space industry businesses, a medical hub, and a large tourism draw – largely due to NASA Johnson Space Center, which served as a catalyst for the expansion in our region today.

As many of you know, the City's origin story is centered around developing a community for the professionals that were moving across the country to work at NASA JSC. The success of NASA JSC has led to our Nassau Bay community becoming a thriving hub along NASA Parkway. To that end, the City deliberately installed an infinity light at the top of this spire. The light will shine into the sky as a celebratory beacon for many more years of space exploration and more importantly, partnership.

The Nassau Bay art spire was a joint project with NASA's Johnson Space Center, TxDOT, Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia, Paul Engineering, Inc, SWA Group, NASA Area Management District, and the City of Nassau Bay. We thank all of these groups for bringing this project to life – as partners we can accomplish anything!
