哈里斯郡推迟决定使用显赫域扩大赫尔曼公园医院, 要求更多公众投入。 Harris County delays decision on using eminent domain to expand hospital in Hermann Park, demanding more public input.

Harris县专员要求提高透明度和公众投入, 然后再着手执行Harris Health计划, 利用名地获取9英亩Hermann公园用于本陶布医院扩建。 Harris County commissioners have demanded greater transparency and public input before proceeding with Harris Health’s plan to use eminent domain to acquire 9 acres of Hermann Park for Ben Taub Hospital expansion. 1911年捐赠的供公园使用的土地可能耗资超过1亿美元,许多继承人反对搬迁。 The land, donated in 1911 for park use, could cost over $100 million, with many heirs opposing the move. 委员们批评Harris Health公司延迟披露情况,与Hermann公园保护局缺乏接触,称拟议的12月11日投票截止日期为过早。 Commissioners criticized Harris Health for delayed disclosure and lack of engagement with the Hermann Park Conservancy, calling the proposed Dec. 11 vote deadline premature. 他们一致批准了四次公开听证会,并将最后表决推迟到3月,强调占取公园地应是最后手段。 They unanimously approved four public hearings and delayed the final vote to March, emphasizing that taking parkland should be a last resort. 虽然Harris Health声称,扩大对解决公共卫生紧急情况至关重要,但对保留绿色空间和使用纳税人资金仍然感到关切。 While Harris Health asserts the expansion is vital to address a public health emergency, concerns persist over preserving green space and using taxpayer funds.
