  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

  cities note significant projects that have been undertaken and also

  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
