H.R. No. 211

	R E S O L U T I O N
	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.
