|
WHEREAS, Due to the leadership of the Bryan/College Station |
|
|
Chamber of Commerce, the two cities provide excellent business |
|
|
opportunities for established companies and for innovative |
|
|
entrepreneurs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Bryan and College Station offer the services and |
|
|
amenities of a vibrant metropolitan area while also providing the |
|
|
warm appeal and charm typical of a small town; it is truly fitting |
