SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 501
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize April 1, 2009, as Hutto Day at the Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Nestled in the rich blacklands of southeastern
Williamson County, Hutto became a community after the
International-Great Northern Railroad reached the site of the
town in 1876 and purchased five acres of land from James Emory
Hutto, a local rancher; the town was incorporated in 1911, at
which time it had a population of 579; and
WHEREAS, Today, Hutto has an estimated population of
17,120 and has earned recognition for the past two years as the
fastest-growing city in Texas; Hutto also was listed in a 2008
issue of Southern Business and Development Magazine as one of the
Top 10 Edge Markets, which are communities that have an
outstanding business climate; and
WHEREAS, Hutto has a dynamic workforce and city government
and provides excellent educational opportunities; the local
economy has agrarian roots and now includes many high-tech,
manufacturing, and service jobs, and the Hutto Independent
School District is growing at a fast pace; in spite of its rapid
growth, Hutto has maintained its small-town charm and resources
that provide its citizens with a high-quality environment in
which to live; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
Legislature, hereby commend the residents of Hutto on preserving
the amenities of their town and guiding its growth with care and
extend best wishes to all on Hutto Day at the Capitol; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this occasion.
Ogden
