He highlighted two successful ventures the Alpine Chamber supported, the Texas Mountains Trails dedication and a State Fair booth, and urged ongoing joint tourist development with Sul Ross College to strengthen Brewster Presidio and Jeff Davis Counties. He called for paved streets funded by the city and active citizen participation to build a stable economy and better public facilities.
