By: Fallon | H.R. No. 1749 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Colony in Denton County has been named a | ||
finalist for the 2013 All-America City Award presented by the | ||
National Civic League, and its selection marks the first time that | ||
the community has been a top contender for this prestigious | ||
accolade; and | ||
WHEREAS, Each year since 1949, the National Civic League has | ||
honored 10 communities from across the nation for excellence in | ||
innovation, inclusiveness, and civic engagement, as well as for | ||
success in meeting local challenges; in applying for the award, | ||
cities note significant projects that have been undertaken and also | ||
detail important issues faced by citizens; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 1973, The Colony has grown into a | ||
thriving community of more than 37,000 people; the city focused on | ||
three outstanding initiatives in its application: the effort to | ||
rebuild the Kids Colony 2 playground, the mixed-use development | ||
project known as Grandscape, and the Volunteer Assistance Program, | ||
which helps homeowners maintain their property; a delegation from | ||
The Colony will share the community's story at the National Civic | ||
League awards event in Denver in June, when the winners will be | ||
announced; and | ||
WHEREAS, In advancing to the final round of judging in the | ||
National Civic League competition, The Colony has won notable | ||
recognition for its ability to meet challenges and opportunities | ||
with outstanding vision and collaborative effort; now, therefore, | ||
be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate The Colony on its selection as a | ||
finalist for the 2013 All-America City Award and extend to the | ||
city's officials and residents sincere best wishes as they continue | ||
to build an even brighter future for their community; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for The Colony as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. |
