Press Release: The Trinity Trust Unveils The Trinity Model

The Trinity River Project is one of the most ambitious and visionary urban development efforts in the history of the United States. To represent in three dimensions the scope and scale of the project, The Trinity Trust commissioned Dallas residents Charles and Susie Kendrick to build a model that would reside permanently in The Trinity Center. Unveiled publicly on September 9 after more than 18 months of work, the model far exceeds its original expectations and will be a spectacular vehicle for galvanizing additional support and funding for the $2 billion Trinity River project. The public is invited to view the large model now on display.

Events and a press conference on Sept. 8-9 to introduce the model included Tom Leppert, City of Dallas Mayor; Mary Suhm, City of Dallas City Manager; Gail Thomas, Ph.D., president and CEO of The Trinity Trust Foundation; Mary McDermott Cook, chairman of The Trinity Trust Foundation; Margaret McDermott who is the naming inspiration for one of the Calatrava Bridges; Jeff Morris, president and CEO of ALON USA and sponsor of the Trinity Model; other elected officials, supporters and other invited guests.

Mayor Tom Leppert said, “This model gives a sense of reality to how the Trinity River Project fits into the whole city, and once completed, the Trinity will define Dallas for years to come.”
