Tomball is celebrating the National Day of prayer by having a prayer event at the historic Tomball depot.  The event will take place Thursday May 5th at 12:00 noon.  They are asking us to meet at the Gazebo by the Tomball depot and it should last about 30 minutes.

This years theme is “A Mighty Fortress is Our God”.

The National Day of Prayer was officially created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress, and signed into law by President Harry Truman. Since 1952, every president has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation. President Barack Obama on Friday April 29th proclaimed May 5th 2011 as the National Day of Prayer, continuing a long tradition in the face of protest. For the complete story here’s an article from the Christian post.

I am planning on being at the Gazebo at noon. I hope you will join me on May 5th in praying for our nation, our military and all these national disasters we are experiencing in our country.

Betty Reinbeck past Executive Director of the Tomball Economic Development was our speaker for this month’s meeting of Tomball Business & Professional Women.  Notice I said “Past director” as we were her last presentation before she retired.  She filled us in on the economic outlook of Tomball for 2011.

Tomball economic development corporation is a type B sales tax organization; which means it is funded by sales tax revenue and that is its only funding.  Betty told us for the last 6 months the sales tax revenue has been up which means the economy of Tomball is doing quite well.  This is good news as in 2008 & 2009 the sales tax was down about 4 to 7%. In the last 6 months it has been up 10 to 12% over the previous year.  Economic outlook is extremely good from sales tax and the interest in Tomball.  Since January the economic development corporation already has 5 new projects.

One of the projects is water, gas and sewer to Brown road all the way down to Spring Creek Estates. EDC cannot spend money on utility extensions for residential so from there it is city.  It opens up about 100 acres in 5 different parcels.  This will be a boom for commercial construction on Brown road. A prime example is Paloma Energy Consultants LP whom are relocating their corporate headquarter to 14405 Brown Road within the City of Tomball.  They will be relocating 58 employees and are looking to add additional employees.  This is the type of project that is perfect for Tomball.

There’s still a lot of land in the City of Tomball that does not have utilities.  The Tomball EDC is looking for those projects that will open a lot of tracts. They are not going to put utilities in to help a developer sell his one development but they will do it for 5 to 10 developments.

Another project of the EDC is the Tomball Market Center (which most people call the Academy Center).  The Tomball market center started in 2007 but then the downturn happened and up until the present it has just been Academy Sports.  Hopefully that is soon to change as Betty said a big anchor store has signed their lease and have their plans in to review with the Tomball city council.  If that should happen then leases than have been pending such as Ross & Best Buy would happen as they have just been waiting for a big anchor store.  Community Bank of Texas is also going in to Tomball market place

Betty told us that during the downturn of the last few years a number of the companies that she has been working with have had to lay people off but now they are re-hiring which is a promising sign.

Several Tomball companies are expanding right now.  To name a few are Walker Shaw Pierce Industries on Hicks Street , Theo Technologies on South Cherry Street & Hole specialist on Commercial Park Dr. Hole Specialists Inc., plans to expand its facility by 25,000 square feet and add between 15 and 25 new jobs. Persimmon Business park just added a 10,000 square foot building.  Jameson products took an existing building remodeled it and doubled their size. Chestnut business park will have 8 building in it; office/warehouse space.  Glass Tech Enterprises getting ready to start construction.

Toro Downhole tools has begun construction of a 25,000 square foot corporate headquarters and tool service facility on the northeast corner of FM 2920 and Buescher Road, just west of Tomball.  Fabcorp Incorporated is relocating to a facility on Red Fox lane.  This will bring 52 employees with fabrication and machine operation.  Even though these two companies are not located within the City limits of Tomball they are still important as their employees will be living, working, shopping and eating in Tomball.

Tomball is also slated to get a Veterans clinic.  At the moment they have three sites in Tomball they are looking at.  They expect to have 65,000 patient visits annually.  That is 65,000 people coming to Tomball and while there many will spend money.  On top of that it is GREAT for the veterans to have this accessibility.

America’s Best Value Inn (38 rooms) is about ready to open.   They are located at the corner of FM 2920 and Park Road on one acre of land.

Another exciting project is the expansion of Medical Complex drive; they are in the process of buying right away and easements.  It will start on east side of 2920 and come around to the west side of 2920.

The last thing Betty talked about was the Economic Development Corporations grant program. EDC will pay up to 50% on business improvements with their grant program.  There are 4 categories of funding; facade improvements, signage (must be major signage), property improvements (such as demolition of buildings) and landscaping. You can go to the website and look under business improvement grants.  From there you can apply online and submit your request.  They added the additional landscaping category as a person who needed help with landscaping and driveways would have to decide which one was more important.  This way they can apply for two grants.  The grants are up to $10,000 with a maximum of 30,000 a year.  A committee goes through all the applications and approve/disapprove.

As an interesting aside the census report from 2000 showed that high growth areas were 10 miles from Tomball. In this last 2010 census the high growth was 5 miles from Tomball.  Who knows what the next 10 years will bring!  Tomball the hometown with a heart has a bright future ahead!

I was driving in to Tomball today and passed a sign that said "Found Cow". Considering there's a whole pasture of cows next door I'm not sure how you tell one from another but someone has lost a cow.

I absolutely love Tomball and where else would you find someone advertising that they had found a cow. The nickname for Tomball is the hometown with a heart and it truly is. The people are incredibly friendly and quite honest as you can tell from the found Cow sign.

If you have lost a  cow in Tomball you can  locate your cow off of Hufsmith road not too far from FM 2978.

All kidding aside this is one of the reasons that you might want to consider living in a subdivision even if you live in the City of Tomball. Tomball has light restrictions which do allow cows to live in the city.

I have written several post that relates to this subject of deed restriction and Home owner's associations.  For additional information please visit them at:

• Why you deed restrictions in Harris and Montgomery County
  
• Why you need to live in an HOA!
  
• The Vegetable Patch; no deed restrictions in Spring TX!
  
• Municipal Utility Districts in Harris & Montgomery Counties
  
• Why buy in a Homeowner’s Association if you live in Northwest Harris & Montgomery Counties
  

Hopefully that cow has found her home!

The 3rd Annual Tomball German Christmas Market will be taking place on December 11th and 12th.  The 19^thCentury saw a big influx of immigrants from Germany and Austria to the Tomball area.  They created a community and this is the time to come and celebrate the German heritage that flows through the area.  This market is a recent addition to German festivities in the Tomball area. 

The unique music/street festival and open air market will take place in the historic downtown section of Tomball, near the 200 block of Main street (FM 2920) and Market Street.  The wonderful thing about this German Christmas market/festival is that it is FREE!!  Admission to the event and parking are both free of charge.

The market itself is estimated to have 120 vendors that will line Market and Walnut street.  They will be selling arts, crafts and of course German Christmas items plus much more. 

Three stages of live music. Alpenfest, Chris Rybak and others, German Folk and Christmas music all day long. A Texas Music Stage has been added this year.  The German tent and music stage will be located near 200 Market Street. The tent will also house the German beer garden. There will be lots of entertainment with street music makers and thing for kids.

Speaking of kids there will be a Kinderfest (kid's area.  This will include carnival rides, bungee-jumping, petting zoo, bounce houses.  There will also be a hayride and a Christmas lights tour.

You won't want to miss the lighting of the TomballCity Christmas tree and the unveiling of a new bronze statue.  It always amazes me with our warm temperatures that we can have an ice skating rink but somehow Toball is making ice skating happen.

As I mentioned earlier the very cool thing about all of this is that it is FREE!!!

One of the many things that I love about Tomball TX are the trees. It has amazed me at the imaginative ways the trees have been preserved. 

For instance if you notice the picture with the two large trees and the picnic tables.  This is in the Wal-mart parking lot.  This park is not built to the side of the parking lot it is in the middle of the parking lot.  There is parking on either side and you can drive in front also. 

If you also notice the tree with the building built around it.  That is the local Wood Forest Bank in Tomball.  They built their bank around this tree. I am in Tomball Business and Professional Women and when I was on the board we would have our board meeting in their Conference Room.  The Conference Room looks out at this tree.

The cougar tree was a casualty from Hurricane Ike.   I wrote an entire post around the Cougar tree if you would like more information. The artist who carved the tree is Master Wood Carver Nathan Smith, a local Tomball artist.  He carved two cougars in a rocky cliff setting out of this fallen oak tree.  Yes, the cougars are in recognition of The Tomball Cougars.

The local Tomball ball park was also built around a tree.  The tree of course provides a lot of shade to stand under and watch the game. 

You can also see how the utility company preserves the trees by cutting the branches around the line instead of chopping the tree down. 

Please realize this is just normal people doing this.  There are not any town restrictions that say you must keep your trees.  These pictures were all taken in the City Limits of Tomball.  Tomball the hometown with a heart was going green before it was popular to go green.
