By every indicator~populatlon, building permits, postal receipts, bank deposits, industrial jobs ~ Denton reflects a healthy growth. The city's gradual ascension toward a top rung on Texas' economic ladder is attributed partly to the steadying in- fluences of governmental activity which includes the year-by-year expansion of the two State-sup- ported universities, ,and partly because of such environmental factors as its location in a diversified agricultural region, its proximity to two great met- ropolitan areas, its proximity to three of Texas' largest reservoirs (Garza-Little Elm, ~rapevine, .and Lake Texoma), its highway and transportation faci- lities, its mild climate, and the less tangible but in- fluential .aspects of social, cultural and educational advantages that kave prompted professional or "white collar" workers to choose Denton as a place of residence· Scientific research, both basic and applied, is an im- portant part of the educa- tional and industrial foun- dations to our basic econ- omy. It can well be the major factor ~in this area's future development. Every forward- looking city and region must p~our money in- to basic research to insure its future.
