R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, On February 21, 2007, proud residents,
  businesspeople, and friends of the Richardson community are meeting
  at the State Capitol for Richardson's Telecom Corridor Legislative
  Day; and
         WHEREAS, Located just north of Dallas in both Collin and
  Dallas Counties, Richardson is home to almost 100,000 people and a
  high concentration of technology and telecommunications firms, as
  well as financial services firms and corporate headquarters; and
         WHEREAS, The collaboration between business and government
  that characterizes the region is due in large part to the committed
  efforts of the Richardson Chamber of Commerce and the City of
  Richardson; assistance from the state's Texas Enterprise Fund and
  Emerging Technology Fund has also greatly contributed to local
  economic development initiatives; and
         WHEREAS, Richardson has been among the most successful cities
  for economic development in the nation, with its City-Chamber
  economic development partnership receiving the prestigious
  "Technology-Led Development Award" from the International Economic
  Development Council in 2006; after capturing the largest capital
  investment in the United States in 2004 made by a single company,
  Texas Instruments, Richardson followed up by winning the
  Countrywide Financial 5,000-job campus project in 2005 and the Blue
  Cross Blue Shield 1.1 million-square-foot headquarters in 2006; no
  city of its size in the state has ever attracted so many nationally
  significant projects of such size in such a short span of years; and
         WHEREAS, Richardson's high quality of life makes it an ideal
  home to modern business; in addition to some of the state's best
  schools and colleges, the city boasts more than 1,000 acres of park
  space, and the nationally known Wildflower Arts and Music Festival
  and Cottonwood Arts Festival are apt reflections of the area's rich
  cultural opportunities; and
         WHEREAS, Richardson is also home to The University of Texas
  at Dallas, a dynamic public research institution on the cutting
  edge of science, technology, and medicine; the site of the new $85
  million Natural Science and Engineering Research Building, the
  university is known for its outstanding school of engineering and
  computer science as well as for its exceptional faculty and staff;
  and
         WHEREAS, The Richardson Chamber of Commerce and the area's
  technology leadership have made Richardson's Telecom Corridor area
  one of the showpieces of modern Texas, and they can take great pride
  in their many accomplishments as they look forward to the
  challenges and opportunities that lie ahead; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 21, 2007, as Richardson's
  Telecom Corridor Legislative Day and extend a warm welcome to the
  area's business and civic leaders visiting the State Capitol.
