The role in which the Association plays in our Industrial Park continues to evolve, as it has since 1956 when Angus Wynne and the Great Southwest Development Corporation began development.  As our business climate continues to change, the Association continues forward with our mission to positively promote, maintain and continue development of the Industrial Park based on the common interests of both the property owners and businesses. 

As your President and a business owner located within the Park, I am committed to diligently work toward improving the conditions of the Industrial Park and to our businesses who proudly call the Great Southwest Industrial Park their “Business Home.”

Our Board of Director volunteers are dedicating their time to make 2008 a banner year for the Association.  We are reaching a higher level by identifying and organizing taskforce committees to address priority issues and develop action plans.  While the Association has obligated resources to execute these programs, their success cannot be accomplished without member commitment to serve.   The more involvement the organization garners, the better the chances of a long and prosperous existence.

As a member of the Association, your combined voices will serve as one to effectively deal with issues and concerns to the Cities of Grand Prairie, Arlington, North Central Texas Council of Governments, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the State of Texas, and other governmental agencies.

We have an Hour of Power Luncheon scheduled for Thursday, June 19, 2008, 11:30am, to introduce our Great Southwest Business Crime Watch Program.  Mark your calendars and watch the website for further information.

Please give us your support by becoming a member of the association and becoming active in the association.

Jay Hancock, Hancock Signs
2008 President of GSWIDA
