We will never get on a roll like this again and this City will continue its decay of the late '80's and we will lag further behind the agressive cities like Phoenix, Nashville, Raleigh, Austin, Fort Worth and Albuquerque for bringing in new money to this area.

Conventions bring in new circulating money--you only need to look at Dallas and Houston to assess what the convention industry has done for those cities.

Trust your city leaders, everthing in MAPS 3 is not going to appeal to everyone; however, the City is flexible in making adjustments.

We are centrally located with an abundance of water, natural and diverse human resources. We have access to a major airport, great universities and trade schools and we are close enough to Dallas without the headaches of a mega city as the Metroplex.

Look for new businesses and industries to come to our region because of our central location and our positive voting image toward our City.
