JUSTICE CENTER SHOPS

Calling all merchants and lawyers. This small retail development is planned for Williams Way just south of the new Fort Bend Justice Center. I see a great spot for a law office, a restaurant, and a copy service. The overview is below.

"ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN"

As many of you know I have been voicing my concerns about this year's budget. The official process begins again on January 27. Here is what is happening in Williamson County (a county similar to Fort Bend).

Williamson County appraiser Alvin Lankford told county commissioners Tuesday because of a decline in overall new housing and commercial construction the county could possibly lose 3 percent, or $1 billion, worth of taxable value for the 2010-11 fiscal year budget. “Right now these are approximate numbers and they could change,” Mr. Lankford said. “Anything could happen.”

I'll keep you posted.

Bob's Tacos

My friend Bob Alanis over at Bob's Taco Station is finally getting the recognition he deserves. He'll be on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" on January 18th. Go here to learn more.

FORT BEND'S HISTORIC COURTHOUSE

I know many people see the outside of Fort Bend's courthouse in Richmond, Texas. Here is a great shot of the historic courtroom that now houses the 240th Judicial District Court of Texas.

The Chronicle has more pictures here. Merry Christmas, happy holidays and happy new year.
