(Community Matters) Super article on Opportunity Austin 3.0. I especially love that they are adding performance metrics for educational attainment, poverty and congestion as well as new job creation. I might not always agree with every incentive package (though I do with many if not most), but I always thank God for Gary Farmer’s generous leadership & investment.
community matters
It's about community, entrepreneurs, politics, art . . and sometimes just silly fun . . . a slightly gay blog.Eugene Sepulveda
Love big West Texas skies, Austin and my husband, Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 18 years – thirteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.
