H.R. No. 1173 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to | ||
join the citizens of the town of Sunnyvale in celebrating April 11, | ||
2019, as Sunnyvale Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Located 15 miles east of downtown Dallas, Sunnyvale | ||
is 16 square miles of rolling plains offering the convenience of | ||
city life amenities along with the quaint charm and relaxed pace of | ||
country living; and | ||
WHEREAS, The town dates back to the mid-19th century, when | ||
homesteaders settled the Long Creek Hamlet; nearby New Hope later | ||
became a center of rural commerce when a store was built there in | ||
1885; these two communities, along with Hattersville and Tripp, | ||
merged in 1953 to form Sunnyvale; and | ||
WHEREAS, The town is bordered on the north, south, and west by | ||
larger suburbs and to the east by the serene waters of Lake Ray | ||
Hubbard, a 22,745-acre recreational reservoir; and | ||
WHEREAS, Sunnyvale's population of more than 6,000 is | ||
increasing as new residential and commercial developments are | ||
completed; the town's unique position is sure to attract businesses | ||
and encourage investment opportunities in the future; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Sunnyvale Independent School District is an | ||
Exemplary school district with an A+ rating; its mission is to | ||
engage, equip, and empower all learners for lifelong success; and | ||
WHEREAS, This quiet community with tree-lined streets and | ||
scenic wide-open spaces is an outstanding place to live, work, and | ||
raise a family, and its residents look forward to a bright future; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize April 11, 2019, as Sunnyvale Day at | ||
the State Capitol and extend to the members of the visiting | ||
delegation sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable visit | ||
to Austin; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the town as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
