Welcome to Cleburne, Texas

The theme chosen for the 2011Cleburne Chamber of Commerce Annual Membership Meeting is “New Decade, New Beginnings…”. That is so appropriate as “we” pause and take a second to look around at all the new investment and changes in this place “we” call home.

A growing and thriving community is constantly in the search of new investment into its infrastructure, homes, schools and Cleburne has certainly been moving and raising the bar to meet those challenges. The challenge of striving to always provide for growth and encourage it as well. You’ve heard the old argument of which came first…the chicken…or the egg, well, it’s the same argument with new business investment and the much needed infrastructure to support it. Cleburne has been fortunate to realize its share of business growth, some because of previous investments and other growth that causes “us” to fulfill some vital needs. With the seeds that were planted by numerous community leaders, some many years ago and others just in the past few years, Cleburne will continue to be and become an even greater focal point for vibrant growth.

However…you can have all the infrastructure and added appeal that “location, location, location” can bring, but as I mentioned in the second sentence, you’ve got to have that one extra piece…and that piece is “a place to call home”. Something that is rare in many cities, Cleburne still possesses a true sense of community and at the very root - a common goal to continue to make Cleburne a great place to live and raise families and allow businesses to flourish.

So…”we” encourage others to visit “us” in this town, this community of Cleburne. A community of new beginnings in this new decade!
