| WHEREAS, Corpus Christi is the eighth-largest city in | ||
| Texas, and it will soon be home to the state's first | ||
| municipally owned seawater desalination facility; The Port of | ||

| opportunity to the Coastal Bend region and supports | ||
| significant change and growth for Texas and the nation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Educational institutions including Texas A&M | ||
| University--Corpus Christi, Del Mar Community College, Coastal | ||
