WHEREAS, Proud citizens of Hutto are gathering in Austin on | ||
April 23, 2013, to celebrate Hutto Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Situated on the rich blackland soils of | ||
southeastern Williamson County, the Hutto area was settled in | ||
1855 by James E. Hutto and Adam Orgain, a freed slave; the town | ||
was founded in 1876 around a depot of the International-Great | ||
Northern Railroad, and it soon became a center for cotton | ||
farming; the town was incorporated in 1911; and | ||
WHEREAS, A century later, Hutto benefits from its location | ||
at the intersection of two busy major highways, United States | ||
Highway 79 and State Highway 130, and its proximity to the North | ||
American Free Trade Agreement corridor along Interstate Highway | ||
35; the city's population has soared from 1,250 in 2000 to more | ||
than 18,000 today, and its welcoming environment for business has | ||
earned it recognition from Southern Business and Development | ||
magazine as one of the Top 10 Edge Markets and one of the Top 100 | ||
"Best Places in the South to Locate Your Company"; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Hutto Independent School District is one of | ||
the fastest growing districts in Texas, increasing enrollment at | ||
the rate of 20 percent a year, and in 2008, voters approved a | ||
$128.5 million bond package; the city is also increasing | ||
opportunities for adult students, and the fall of 2013 will see | ||
the opening of a new, 57-acre campus of the East Williamson | ||
County Higher Education Center; in addition, Hutto residents | ||
have approved funding for the creation of a park system and a | ||
25,000-square-foot YMCA facility; and | ||
WHEREAS, Home to an educated workforce, a motivated city | ||
government, and a healthy business climate, Hutto is building on | ||
its rich, small-town heritage of hard work and neighborliness to | ||
prepare itself for a dynamic future as a smart place to live, | ||
work, and prosper; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize April 23, 2013, as Hutto Day at the | ||
State Capitol and extend to the Hutto delegation sincere best | ||
wishes for an enjoyable and memorable visit to Austin. | ||
