By: Muñoz, Jr. | H.R. No. 211 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Proud citizens of Palmview are gathering in Austin | ||
on March 1, 2023, to celebrate Palmview Day at the State Capitol; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Located in southern Hidalgo County, in the Rio | ||
Grande Valley, Palmview can trace its heritage to the town of Mamie, | ||
which was established in 1904 as a stop along the St. Louis, | ||
Brownsville and Mexico Railway; in 1972, a group of local residents | ||
led a drive to create an autonomous community, and their efforts | ||
resulted in the establishment of the city of Palmview; and | ||
WHEREAS, In the years since, Palmview has experienced | ||
significant growth and is now home to more than 15,800 residents; | ||
the community is situated between the busy retail areas of central | ||
Hidalgo County and the slower-paced, yet growing Starr County to | ||
the west; and | ||
WHEREAS, Palmview's expansion has created a range of new | ||
business opportunities, and the city's municipal development | ||
district is working with entrepreneurs to spur further economic | ||
activity; moreover, officials are devoted to enhancing services to | ||
benefit the city's growing population and, to that end, have | ||
cooperated with agencies such as the Texas Water Development Board | ||
and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to pursue | ||
infrastructure projects; and | ||
WHEREAS, Home to an engaged citizenry and city government, | ||
Palmview is building on its heritage of hard work and independence | ||
to prepare for a dynamic and prosperous future; now, therefore, be | ||
it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize March 1, 2023, as Palmview Day at the | ||
State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best | ||
wishes for an enjoyable and productive stay in Austin. |
