|
|
known as the West Chambers County Chamber of Commerce, recently |
|
|
underwent a name change to reflect the growth and development of the |
|
|
community it has served for nearly 40 years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Founded in 1984, the Mont Belvieu Area Chamber of |
|
|
Commerce is a dynamic business organization that works to |
|
|

institutions, governmental entities, and the community with the |
|
|
mission of ensuring the long-term economic health of the area; and |
|
|

|
|
area is home to Enterprise Products, ExxonMobil, Targa Resources, |
|
|
Energy Transfer, ONEOK, Covestro, and Chevron Phillips Chemical |
|
|

|
|
Independent School District; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The population of Mont Belvieu has steadily |
|

|
|
Houston area; as the Mont Belvieu Area Chamber approaches its 40th |
|
|
anniversary in 2024, the organization continues to honor its |
|
|
commitment to supporting businesses and organizations within its |
|
|
service region, including Mont Belvieu as well as Beach City, Cove, |
|
|
and Old River-Winfree; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Mont Belvieu Area Chamber of Commerce is |
|
|
dedicated to building an even brighter future for the community in |
|
|
the decades to come, and the members of this outstanding |
|
|
organization are deserving of recognition for all that they have |
|
|
achieved; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor the Mont Belvieu Area Chamber of Commerce |
|
|
as it approaches its 40th anniversary in 2024 and extend to all |
|
|
those affiliated with the chamber sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
