| WHEREAS, Members of the Burleson Area Chamber of Commerce | ||
| are visiting the State Capitol on March 19, 2013, and this | ||
| occasion provides a fitting opportunity to pay tribute to this | ||
| outstanding organization and the city it serves; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Burleson chamber traces its history to 1965, | ||
| when 75 members of the Lions Club came together to discuss | ||
| economic and industrial development and realized the need for a | ||
| permanent organization; the chamber was officially founded on | ||
| April 18 of the following year; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In the years since, the Burleson chamber has | ||
| played a leading role in the life of the city, sponsoring ongoing | ||

| to make Burleson an even better place to live, work, and play; and | ||
| WHEREAS, One of the fastest-growing cities in the | ||
| Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Burleson boasts a population of | ||
| 38,000, with 290,000 people living within a 10-mile radius; | ||
| nearly 1,500 acres are available for economic expansion within | ||
| the city limits, and the soon-to-be-completed Chisholm Trail | ||
| Parkway and the redesign of Wilshire Boulevard will further | ||
| enhance the city's transportation infrastructure; and | ||
| WHEREAS, | ||
| WHEREAS, The two retail complexes at the north and south | ||
| ends of the town make a comprehensive selection of goods and | ||
| services available to shoppers, and Burleson's historic Old Town | ||
| district offers residents and visitors alike opportunities for | ||
| entertainment and dining in handsomely restored buildings that | ||
| evoke the city's past; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Members of the Burleson Area Chamber of Commerce | ||
| have contributed greatly to the quality of life across their | ||
| region, and they are indeed worthy of special recognition for | ||
| their dedication to their hometown; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
