WHEREAS, Proud residents of Hutto are gathering in Austin on |
|
|
April 1, 2009, to celebrate Hutto Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Situated on the rich black lands of southwestern |
|
|
Williamson County, Hutto is ideally located in close proximity to |
|
|
Austin, Round Rock, and Georgetown; it rests adjacent to the |
|
|
premier new highway project in the state, SH-130, and it is only |
|
|
minutes away from the IH-35 NAFTA corridor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This dynamic community perfectly balances its |
|
|
small-town charm with expanding retail opportunities and a growing |
|
|
park system; enjoying strong support from the town's residents, |
|
|
Hutto's exceptional schools are growing at a rate of 20 percent each |
|
|
year; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These fine amenities and Hutto's ready access to the |
|
|
high-tech, manufacturing, and service employers in Central Texas |
|
|
make it an excellent place to live; the town's population has soared |
|
|
in just nine years from 1,250 in 2000 to 17,120 today, and it has |
|
|
been cited as the fastest-growing community in Texas for two years |
|
|
in a row; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Hutto's educated workforce, highly motivated |
|
|
government, and welcoming business climate combine to make the |
|
|
community an ideal location for new enterprise; the winter 2008 |
|
|
issue of Southern Business and Development magazine recognized the |
|
|
town as one of the Top 10 Edge Markets and as one of the 100 Best |
|
|
Major Markets in the South to Locate Your Company; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Building on their town's rich rural heritage and its |
|
|
small-town values of friendliness and industry, the people of Hutto |
|
|
are looking toward a bright future for themselves and their |
|
|
children; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 1, 2009, as Hutto Day at the |
|
|
State Capitol and extend to the Hutto delegation sincere best |
|
|
wishes for an enjoyable and informative visit. |
