        WHEREAS, The Associated General Contractors of Texas 

  

 Highway, Heavy, Utilities, and Industrial Branch, a trade group 

  

 serving businesses in the infrastructure construction industry, 

  

 marked the 100th anniversary of its founding on December 11, 2024; 

  

 and

  

        WHEREAS, In November 1924, a group of Texas contractors met 

  

 at the St. Anthony Hotel in San Antonio to begin developing the 

  

 framework for an organization committed to advocating in behalf of 

  

 general contractors and meeting the state's growing public 

  

 infrastructure needs; on December 11 of that year, a charter for the 

  

 group was granted by the Associated General Contractors of America, 

  

 ushering in a new era of growth and success for the highway and 

  

 heavy construction industry in Texas; and

  

        WHEREAS, The more than 700 companies affiliated with the AGC 

  

 of Texas are responsible for over 90 percent of all highway 

  

 construction in the state and a considerable share of other 

  

 engineering projects, including water and sewer systems and utility 

  

 plants; throughout its existence, the organization has tirelessly 

  

 advocated for the funding of the state highway system, promoted 

  

 workplace safety, and championed the core values of skill, 

  

 integrity, and responsibility among contractors, suppliers, and 

  

 industry professionals doing business in Texas; under the able 

  

 leadership of chief executive officer Jennifer Woodard, the group 

  

 strives to be a driving force in shaping the future of public 

  

 infrastructure in Texas, contributing to the continued economic 

  

 vitality of the state; and

  

        WHEREAS, Thanks to the dedication of its engaged membership, 

  

 the Associated General Contractors of Texas continues to flourish 

  

 as one of the longest-standing trade groups in the Lone Star State, 

  

 and it is a privilege to honor the organization as it commemorates a 

  

 century of excellence; now, therefore, be it

  

        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas 

  

 Legislature hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 

  

 Associated General Contractors of Texas Highway, Heavy, Utilities, 

  

 and Industrial Branch and extend to all those affiliated with the 

  

 organization sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it 

  

 further

  

        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 

  

 prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas 

   

 House of Representatives.
