SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 501
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize April 1, 2009, as Hutto Day at the Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Nestled in the rich blacklands of southeastern |
|
Williamson County, Hutto became a community after the |
|
International-Great Northern Railroad reached the site of the |
|
town in 1876 and purchased five acres of land from James Emory |
|
Hutto, a local rancher; the town was incorporated in 1911, at |
|
which time it had a population of 579; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, Hutto has an estimated population of |
|
17,120 and has earned recognition for the past two years as the |
|
fastest-growing city in Texas; Hutto also was listed in a 2008 |
|
issue of Southern Business and Development Magazine as one of the |
|
Top 10 Edge Markets, which are communities that have an |
|
outstanding business climate; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Hutto has a dynamic workforce and city government |
|
and provides excellent educational opportunities; the local |
|
economy has agrarian roots and now includes many high-tech, |
|
manufacturing, and service jobs, and the Hutto Independent |
|
School District is growing at a fast pace; in spite of its rapid |
|
growth, Hutto has maintained its small-town charm and resources |
|
that provide its citizens with a high-quality environment in |
|
which to live; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the residents of Hutto on preserving |
|
the amenities of their town and guiding its growth with care and |
|
extend best wishes to all on Hutto Day at the Capitol; and, be it |
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
honor of this occasion. |
