Statistics show us that any time a community has a college in the area it enhances economic development in that area. Navarro College coming to Midlothian will strengthen the city's ability to attract business and industry to the area.

I have a vase with the first scoop of dirt under my desk. This is a dream come true for me and I know Navarro College will benefit this community for years to come.

We expect 250 students to be using this facility when it opens. That number is expected to climb steadily over the next 20 years.

Statistics tell us that when you have 10 medical incidents ? then you're going to have a lost-time accident. We're up to 13 or 14 medical incidents, so we're overdue for a lost-time accident, according to statistics. That's why we must be more cautious than ever before, because statistics tell us we're overdue for one.
