AUSTIN, TEXAS

Austin is the capital city of the U.S. state of Texas and the seat of Travis County. Located in Central Texas on the eastern edge of the American Southwest, it is the fourth-largest city in Texas and the 13th most populous city in the United States. It was the third-fastest-growing large city in the nation from 2000 to 2006. Austin has a population of 790,390 (2010 U.S. Census). The city is the cultural and economic center of the Austin–Round Rock–San Marcos metropolitan area, which has a population of over 1,716,291 (2010 U.S. Census), making it the 35th-largest metropolitan area in the United States.

The area was settled in the 1830s on the banks of the Colorado River by pioneers who named the village Waterloo. In 1839, Waterloo was chosen to become the capital of the newly independent Republic of Texas. The city was renamed after Stephen F. Austin, known as the father of Texas. The city grew throughout the 19th century and became a center for government and education with the construction of the Texas State Capitol and the University of Texas. After a lull in growth from the Great Depression, Austin resumed its development into a major city in the 1980s and emerged as a center for technology and business. Austin is home to many companies, high-tech and otherwise: Fortune 500 corporations Freescale Semiconductor, Forestar Group, and Whole Foods Market, are headquartered there; AMD, Apple, Broadcom, Google, IBM, Intel, Qualcomm, ShoreTel, Synopsys and Texas Instruments have prominent regional offices there. Also Dell's Worldwide Headquarters is located in nearby Round Rock, a suburb of Austin. Source: Wikipedia

 

ESTABLISHING AN AUSTIN RESOURCE CENTER

We'd like an opportunity to build an Austin Resource Center with your help, support and passionate cooperation.

Over the last ten years we've built a powerful "Resource Center 3.0" platform and business model to support local and regional development of resource centers for communications and networking, interdependence and economic self–reliance, and we'd like to offer this opportunity to the entire Michigan community.

This platform is more advanced than Facebook and focused on building and strengthening community locally. But our company doesn't have the market capitalization of Facebook so we'll require our partners, advertisers and sponsors to make a financial commitment to be able to support this development. There is no time more critical than right now!

So we're looking for the first twelve "Associate" partners ($48/month), the first 24 "Business" partners ($24/month) and the first 100 "Community" partners ($12/month) to make this feasible ASAP.

If we can get enough financial commitments we'll come back in three months and facilitate the Austin Resource Center regional resource center development and turn it over to a local ORGANIZING TEAM to operate.

• Associate
• Business
• Community

That's our current vision and proposal for building and deploying these worldwide.
