WHEREAS, The Real Estate Councils of Texas is a statewide |
|
coalition that was organized to promote the role of commercial and |
|
industrial real estate development within the state's economy; and |
|
WHEREAS, Recognizing a need for statewide representation, |
|
real estate professionals from across Texas formed the consortium |
|
in 2008 to educate the public on issues that affect the industry and |
|
to advocate in its behalf; the group is composed of the Real Estate |
|
Councils of Austin, Dallas, Greater Fort Worth, and San Antonio, as |
|
well as the Houston Real Estate Council and Houstonians for |
|
Responsible Growth; the Real Estate Councils of Texas represents |
|
the state's major markets, and its mission is to serve as the |
|
unified voice of the real estate development industry of Texas and |
|
to establish a statewide economic footprint; and |
|
WHEREAS, By working together, the members of the Real Estate |
|
Councils of Texas hope to ensure that the public becomes aware of |
|
the significant impact the industry has on the state's economy; |
|
commercial real estate development generates approximately $3.8 |
|
billion in state tax revenue and more than $270 billion in total |
|
economic activity; furthermore, the industry employs over 500,000 |
|
Texans and is the second largest industry in the state; and |
|
WHEREAS, The well-being of Texas residents depends on |
|
economic prosperity throughout the state, and organizations like |
|
the Real Estate Councils of Texas are working to keep Texas moving |
|
forward on its path to a bright future; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby honor the Real Estate Councils of Texas and |
|
extend to all those associated with the organization sincere best |
|
wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the Real Estate Councils of Texas as an expression of |
|
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
