HEBC July 8th 2010. Houston Mayor Annise Parker

Houston mayor Annise Parker was featured speaker last Thursday at the Houston Realty Business Coalition Breakfast. She mostly reflected on her first 6 months in office but did bring up the subject of increasing property values by accelerating the process of tearing down derelict multi-family properties. The mayor would like that Houston is thought of as the "City that works and you don't have to think about it".

                Mark Sappington with Cobb Fendley & Associates and Houston City Councilman CO Brad Bradford.

Former Houston Police Chief CO Brad Bradford was in attendance. He feels strongly that Houston can be positioned as the #2 city to do business in in the USA. No one can top NYC but neither Los Angeles or Chicago has the advantages of Houston. He feels a strong marketing campaign emphasizing our strong business atmosphere would prove beneficial.
