Another thing that makes Houston so attractive to families and new businesses is the relatively low cost of living. The fact that Houston has a 14.25% lower cost of living then the rest of the country has played a huge role in the recent population explosion and made the region quite attractive to young families. And more young families equal more students in schools. With the average number of students per teacher (18) already above the national average, overcrowding is becoming a big issue within the public school system. Hence the up tick in construction of new academic facilities and Marmion's increased involvement in the space as of late.

If this is not enough for you to see that Houston is the place to be for MMIO then let me add this last part for good measure: the job growth rate for Houston as of the end of 2007 was 2.26% with future job growth over the next ten years forecasted at 26.62%. Once again making Houston a hot spot for young adults and families to migrate to. Also according to Sperling’s web site (http://www.bestplaces.net/) Houston’s housing market should stay fairly stable through 2008 with a modest forecasted appreciation of 2.1% for the upcoming year.

With MMIO stock price teetering at a penny per share, a solid business plan in place, a new facility in the works that should lead to increased sales, and all industry signs pointing to "go", we see tremendous upside in the company at current levels.
