WHEREAS, Members of the West I-10 Chamber of Commerce are |
|
|
gathering at the State Capitol on March 2, 2011, and their visit |
|
|
provides a fitting opportunity to recognize the achievements of |
|
|
these outstanding civic leaders; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Founded in 1985, the West I-10 Chamber of Commerce |
|
|
works diligently to promote the growth and advancement of southern |
|
|
Waller County and northwestern Fort Bend County through economic |
|
|
and community development programs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This notable organization is made up of |
|
|
approximately 80 businesses, professionals, and citizens from a |
|
|
250-square-mile area west of Houston, including the towns of |
|
|
Brookshire, Pattison, Fulshear, and Simonton; located in the |
|
|
agriculturally rich watershed of the Brazos River and along two |
|
|
major arteries of travel and trade, Interstate 10 and FM 359, the |
|
|
region thrives on farming, ranching, manufacturing, and |
|
|
transportation-dependent industries; though it is poised as the |
|
|
next frontier on Houston's path of steady growth, the area retains |
|
|
its small-town traditions and places an emphasis on education and |
|
|
family values; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The chamber takes strong advocacy positions on |
|
|
issues affecting business prosperity in the communities it serves; |
|
|
its vital initiatives are coordinated through a number of |
|
|
committees, including the governmental affairs group, which is |
|
|
responsible for the chamber's third biennial trip to Austin; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The vision and leadership provided by the West I-10 |
|
|
Chamber of Commerce have been truly invaluable to the betterment of |
|
|
this part of the Lone Star State, and it is indeed a pleasure to |
|
|
honor the chamber at this time; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby welcome the West I-10 Chamber of Commerce to the |
|
|
State Capitol and commend its members for their dedicated service; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
