Business Breakfast Forum

Presented by the Houston Downtown Alliance

Thursday, March 20, 2008

Fulbright Tower Auditorium, Mezzanine Level

7:45 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.

HOUSTON (February 29, 2008) – Frank Wilson, our March guest, will speak about the upcoming plans METRO has to take Houston into the next decade. With METRO making headlines throughout the entire City of Houston, the Starbucks Breakfast Speaker Series is a great time to get the information straight from the top. With rich experience in both the public and private sectors, Mr. Wilson will describe how commuting to Downtown Houston and mobility for the entire region will be transformed by infrastructure investments that go beyond rail and bus.

As Houston continues its dramatic growth, how can mobility improve without adding more lanes of roadway and worsening air pollution? Answers to these questions and others about METRO’s $2 billion expansion program will be addressed.

The Business Breakfast Forum is made possible by the support of Starbucks, METRO, the Houston Business Journal, Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership, and Continental Airlines.

Fulbright Tower is located at 1301 McKinney. Admission to the Business Breakfast Forum is $5 or free to Houston Downtown Alliance members. For more information contact Andrew Huang or Heather Pray at 713.658.8938 or heather@downtownhouston.org.
