Pumapayam Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 That is great news, I am proud that Houston continues to diversify and attract other businesses outside ot medical and energy. This is a great assest to us, since most of the tech business in Texas is in Austin! I know we had HP and Compaq in Houston already, but more is always better. Great news.

mrfootball Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 It's great to see HP investing in the area again, as the HP/Compaq merger really stunted things for awhile as they got their ducks in a row. Now that whole area around HP is about to take off again with a more diversified slate of corporations along with some nice new lifestyle amenities.
