At the March 10 city council meeting, local entrepreneur Marquis Johnson introduced a new HVAC franchise that plans to base operations in Cedar Hill and serve nearby communities. Johnson said he and his business partner were born and raised in the area, attended Texas A&M, and decided to return to start a franchise focused on service and job growth.

He emphasized the company's interest in creating jobs and training local young people in trades and noted a preference to partner with Cedar Hill ISD for summer opportunities.
Mayor Steve Mason suggested the entrepreneurs connect with Vanessa Alonzo at the Cedar Hill Chamber for networking and support; the entrepreneurs acknowledged the offer. The council did not take formal action on the presentation; the remarks were offered during the citizen forum portion of the meeting as an introduction and request to build local partnerships.
