Happy Independence Day! We Are Most Certainly Open For Business!
Independence Day invokes feelings of individual freedom and independence being the basis on which our great country was founded. Over the course of the last 15 months, few things have been entirely certain. Markets, along with the availability of workers, commodities, and related costs have continued to rise and fall. Even so, here at The Strong Firm and throughout The Woodlands and Texas, local independently minded entrepreneurs, businesses, and industries have worked hard and found a way to press forward in uncertain times. We have witnessed, stood alongside, and prayed with those around us hit hard by the effects of COVID-19, including many who have lost much, including loved ones to the virus. There is no doubt that lives have been forever impacted by this event. However, in times of uncertainty, our team is able to passionately put our skills to work and together, with our clients and this community of individuals, we can help focus on making positive change in our community, aiding in the resiliency of mankind. As a firm, we thrive on bringing certainty to uncertainty.
In our community of The Woodlands, Texas, there has been great emphasis on the idea of independent thinking linked with togetherness – working with each other to forge a more stable future. We see it in the efforts of The Woodlands Township and Montgomery County where priorities instantly became the personal and economic wellbeing of our local community. In addition to partnering to administer ongoing free COVID testing, building confidence in the future, the Township has supported vaccine events for those wanting the vaccine and ongoing local monitoring of the impact of the virus to drive solid and measured but independent decision making. Our citizens recognized early on the importance of coming together (physically and financially) to unite as a community by volunteering, donating, and showing true leadership to support those who may have struggled during the pandemic. While government involvement has its place, it is our own community that has and will rebuild our economic and social networks. The Woodlands and Texas are leading us forward. In the midst of the pandemic, new residents are flowing in from the west, east and north to the freedom that is Texas and the amazing place that is The Woodlands. Niche.com has named The Woodlands as #1 on its list of Best Cities to Live in America. If you have been thinking of moving to The Woodlands, there has never been a better time to do so than now. Come be a part of the growth in this community! We welcome you with open arms. We are open for business and look forward to working with you! Happy Independence Day!
