This will bring distinction to our heritage similar to what has been done <br />for the Automobile Industry in Detroit. The ship Channel (Buffalo Bayou) will be highlighted for two themes: <br />"Energy Capital of America and the World" and also the birthplace of the Texas Republic (which shaped U.S. <br />history.) <br /> <br />The National Parks Service is collecting feedback from the communities to better ensure we are successful before <br />Congress on this endeavor. <br /> <br />Our request to you: It will have strong impact if we could forward a resolution of support from each of our cities. If <br />you have not already done so, would you consider passing a support resolution from your city? A template (our <br />own Economic Alliance Board of Directors) is attached. We need to do this prior to the end of this month if at all <br />possible. <br /> <br />If you will send your resolution to our office, we will bundle together and get to the right spot. If you already <br />passed a resolution, would you mind sending a copy of it to us as well so we ensure all our communities are <br />processed. Giving it to them twice won't hurt at all. <br /> <br />Thank you for you consideration of this request. If you have any questions just call me at 281-867-1112. <br /> <br />Thank you! <br /> <br />Jan <br /> <br />10/15/2007 <br />
