|
|
87th Texas Legislature are pleased to recognize the Fairfield |
|
|
Chamber of Commerce; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The seat of Freestone County, Fairfield has long |
|
|
been a center of agricultural commerce; cotton was the predominant |
|
|
crop in the town's early years, and today, the county is known for |
|
|
its cattle ranches and peach production; since the 1960s, the |
|
|
region has also been a source of natural gas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Fairfield benefits from its location at the junction |
|
|
of US Highway 84 and Interstate 45 between Dallas and Houston; |
|
|
centered on a handsome county courthouse that was built in 1919, the |
|
|
charming town square and the city's relaxed, small-town lifestyle |
|
|
delight both residents and visitors alike; moreover, Fairfield Lake |
|
|
has become a popular destination for fishing and camping, drawing |
|
|
250,000 visitors a year; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Fairfield Chamber of Commerce is the voice of |
|
|
the local business community, and it also operates the city's |
|
|
visitor center; by working together with integrity, respect, and |
|
|
passion, the men and women of the chamber endeavor to educate, lead, |
|
|
and promote economic development and tourism in the county; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Members of the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce are |
|
|
committed to making their county a better place in which to live, |
|
|
work, and do business, and they may indeed take great pride in the |
|
|
vital role they play in their community; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce and |
|
|
extend to all those involved with the chamber sincere best wishes |
|
|
for the future. |
