With session only two months away, now is the time to gear up!
Right now, El Paso is the best place to be! For us, our best days are ahead. For over eighteen months, we have met with community leaders, gathered information, delivered key committees to our region to develop El Paso’s Five Star Agenda for the coming session.
Here are the initiatives that we believe are the priorities for the 80th Session of the Texas Legislature:
* Secure the Faculty Funding for Our Four Year Medical School;We are excited about serving you in the next four years!* Identify and Fund the Key Priorities for Ft. Bliss’ expansion, including the Inner Loop, New Schools and 300 Teachers;
* Revitalize and Develop Our Downtown;
* Implement our Regional Mobility Authority and Key Regional Infrastructure;
* Develop Smart Growth Policies especially in Key Arroyos.
