HISTORY OF LEADERSHIP
Houston's business community has a strong history of taking the lead when it comes to doing what's right for the region.
In 1842, the Houston Chamber of Commerce raised $2,000 to clear Buffalo Bayou and build a seaport. Today, that investment has led to nearly $11 billion in economic activity.
100 years later, business rallied again to establish one of the world's major medical venues - the Texas Medical Center.
Opportunity Houston℠ is today's chance to build on this region's power and create a greater Houston.
