w/bones & pics sent to the #Smithsonian Museum. Further he speaks of the coming incorporation of the #CanyonStateNaturalArea in #TexasRuralChallenge Texas and it's expansion - which indeed happens in the years he cites!

Interesting to learn 87% of Texas’ population lives east of I35. Also interesting to see population changes by county since 2010. #texasruralchallenge #TRC2018

Excited to take a break from the news today to be with my wonderful ED colleagues (and MC Chet Garner) at #texasruralchallenge in New Braunfels. Always a great conference!

Great discussion at #texasruralchallenge Evolving Models for Economic Development panel about how to integrate people who are moving from urban to rural areas and take advantage of the strengths they bring.

A brief stool sample: Which is more interesting for rural development? The 3 legged stools of economic development, entrepreneurship, or increasing broadband access? #texasruralchallenge
