	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Proud residents of Plano are gathering in Austin on
	February 26, 2025, to celebrate Plano Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, The city traces its origins to the early 1850s, when
	William Forman established a general store, post office, and
	several other enterprises that became the hub of the community; the
	Houston and Texas Central Railway connected the area to nearby
	Dallas in 1872, and the town was officially incorporated the
	following year; in its early decades, Plano became home of several
	industries and served as a retail outlet for area farmers; the
	town's population increased at a moderate pace during the first
	half of the 1900s but has grown rapidly in the decades since,
	becoming a prominent part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex; and
	WHEREAS, Today, Plano boasts a population of more than
	290,000; the Plano Chamber of Commerce has played an important role
	in the city's economic growth through advocacy, education,
	innovation, and collaboration, and the community further benefits
	from the educational opportunities provided by the Plano
	Independent School District and two Collin College campuses; the
	city has received a host of accolades in recent years, including
	recognition by both the New York Times and WalletHub in 2024 as one
	of the best places in the country to raise children; and
	WHEREAS, Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the recreational
	activities at Oak Point Park and the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve,
	and visitors and locals alike can explore the city's rich history at
	the Heritage Farmstead Museum, the Interurban Railway Museum, and
	the Plano African American Museum; the Plano Balloon Festival, one
	of the city's signature events, takes place each September; and
	WHEREAS, Plano has earned a well-deserved reputation as an
	outstanding place to live and work, and its citizens may take
	justifiable pride in the unique contributions that their community
	has made to the story of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 26, 2025, as Plano Day at the
	State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the visiting delegation.
