【時報訊】大都會地區的西班牙裔商會新總部將於10月9日與科技中心一齊亮相聖路易，據悉，聯邦參議員Christopher “Kit” Bond將親臨現場剪綵。開幕儀式的舉辦地點為3611 S. Grand Blvd., Suite 105 (位於Grand大街與Gravois大街交叉口的Southside銀行大樓) 。
科技中心占地面積約為3100平方英尺，並且配備了使用最新版多語言軟體的30個工作站，這些軟體全部由微軟公司捐助。其中6個工作站會設立在一個電腦實驗室裡，可用於將來的強化學習等活動。
中心將面向商會成員和所有少數群體企業和員工開放。西班牙裔商會主席Jorge Riopedre認為，“科技中心的開設能夠幫助西班牙裔和其他少數群體，使得這些群體的企業家和員工步入科技化發展的現代商業中，這樣有助於刺激整個地區的經濟繁榮。”
在聯邦參議員Bond的申請下，國會向商會撥款500，000元用於科技中心的建設。商會將科技中心的設立地點定在了原先South銀行所在的大樓，因為該地區毗鄰Cherokee大街的西班牙裔社區，將中心建在這裡有利於促進South Grand大街的經濟發展。

St. Louis Hispanic Chamber Opens Technology CenterSen. Bond to Cut Ribbon
The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis will open its new headquarters and Technology Center on Oct. 9, with a ribbon cutting ceremony featuring remarks by U.S. Sen. Christopher "Kit" Bond.
The ceremony begins at noon at 3611 S. Grand Blvd., Suite 105, St. Louis (former Southside Bank building at the corner of Grand and Gravois Ave.).
The Technology Center is approximately 3100 square feet in size and will be equipped with 30 PC workstations that will have state-of-the-art multilingual software donated by Microsoft Corp. Six of the workstations will be in a computer lab intended for more intensive learning situations. Users will be able to access the software at the center and online.
The center will be open to chamber members and any minority entrepreneurs and workers in the metro area.
"This Technology Center will help Hispanics and other minorities become more tech-savvy business owners and employees, which will help stimulate economic prosperity for the entire region," said Jorge Riopedre, president of the Hispanic Chamber.
Congress appropriated $500,000 for the chamber to acquire and outfit the Technology Center at the request of Sen. Bond. The chamber selected the former Southside Bank building because it is near the area's predominant Hispanic neighborhood around Cherokee Street and to help spark the economic development of South Grand Boulevard, Riopedre said.
For additional information about the Technology Center, call 314-516-4220 or email hccstlmo@sbcglobal.net.
The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis promotes and supports the economic development of Hispanic firms and increases business opportunities for all in the St. Louis region.
