H.R. No. 658 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Members of the West I-10 Chamber of Commerce are | ||
gathering at the State Capitol on March 2, 2011, and their visit | ||
provides a fitting opportunity to recognize the achievements of | ||
these outstanding civic leaders; and | ||
WHEREAS, Founded in 1985, the West I-10 Chamber of Commerce | ||
works diligently to promote the growth and advancement of southern | ||
Waller County and northwestern Fort Bend County through economic | ||
and community development programs; and | ||
WHEREAS, This notable organization is made up of | ||
approximately 80 businesses, professionals, and citizens from a | ||
250-square-mile area west of Houston, including the towns of | ||
Brookshire, Pattison, Fulshear, and Simonton; located in the | ||
agriculturally rich watershed of the Brazos River and along two | ||
major arteries of travel and trade, Interstate 10 and FM 359, the | ||
region thrives on farming, ranching, manufacturing, and | ||
transportation-dependent industries; though it is poised as the | ||
next frontier on Houston's path of steady growth, the area retains | ||
its small-town traditions and places an emphasis on education and | ||
family values; and | ||
WHEREAS, The chamber takes strong advocacy positions on | ||
issues affecting business prosperity in the communities it serves; | ||
its vital initiatives are coordinated through a number of | ||
committees, including the governmental affairs group, which is | ||
responsible for the chamber's third biennial trip to Austin; and | ||
WHEREAS, The vision and leadership provided by the West I-10 | ||
Chamber of Commerce have been truly invaluable to the betterment of | ||
this part of the Lone Star State, and it is indeed a pleasure to | ||
honor the chamber at this time; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby welcome the West I-10 Chamber of Commerce to the | ||
State Capitol and commend its members for their dedicated service; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
