H.R. No. 658
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the West I-10 Chamber of Commerce are
gathering at the State Capitol on March 2, 2011, and their visit
provides a fitting opportunity to recognize the achievements of
these outstanding civic leaders; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 1985, the West I-10 Chamber of Commerce
works diligently to promote the growth and advancement of southern
Waller County and northwestern Fort Bend County through economic
and community development programs; and
WHEREAS, This notable organization is made up of
approximately 80 businesses, professionals, and citizens from a
250-square-mile area west of Houston, including the towns of
Brookshire, Pattison, Fulshear, and Simonton; located in the
agriculturally rich watershed of the Brazos River and along two
major arteries of travel and trade, Interstate 10 and FM 359, the
region thrives on farming, ranching, manufacturing, and
transportation-dependent industries; though it is poised as the
next frontier on Houston's path of steady growth, the area retains
its small-town traditions and places an emphasis on education and
family values; and
WHEREAS, The chamber takes strong advocacy positions on
issues affecting business prosperity in the communities it serves;
its vital initiatives are coordinated through a number of
committees, including the governmental affairs group, which is
responsible for the chamber's third biennial trip to Austin; and
WHEREAS, The vision and leadership provided by the West I-10
Chamber of Commerce have been truly invaluable to the betterment of
this part of the Lone Star State, and it is indeed a pleasure to
honor the chamber at this time; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby welcome the West I-10 Chamber of Commerce to the
State Capitol and commend its members for their dedicated service;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
