GERALD WOMACK: REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit with Gerald Womack. Gerald is a well-known highly respected real estate developer. I meet Gerald in the early nineties at Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Fifth Ward, Texas. Pastor C. L. Jackson was the senior pastor. Pleasant Grove was the first modern day dome church facility in America built by a Black church congregation. The first thing out of Gerald’s mouth was it is a shame that the Pleasant Grove dome, as a religious monument, has been torn down for housing development. Gerald is truly an unusual business professional who has always had a profound Godly vision for the future. A living testament to Gerald’s visionary prospective concerning business development is the block of Almeda in Third Ward where his office is located, Gerald Womack assisted in redevelop- ing and beautifying the entire block. Womack Development is a full- service real estate license brokerage firm that has a vision for the future. On the next corner on Wheeler Avenue is the former office of Mack Hannah Enterprises, dilapidated and utterly in shambles. In passing I mentioned that to Gerald, and he retorted that this will not happen to Womack Real Estate Enterprises....
