|
||
| WHEREAS, Proud residents of Grand Prairie are gathering in | ||
| Austin on February 26, 2025, to celebrate Grand Prairie Day at the | ||
| State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Located in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth | ||
| Metroplex, Grand Prairie traces its history to 1863, when Alexander | ||
| M. Dechman, an early settler to the area, filed title on his land | ||
| with Dallas County; following the arrival of the Texas and Pacific | ||
| Railroad in 1876, the area known as Dechman was renamed Grand | ||
| Prairie in recognition of its location on the eastern edge of the | ||
| vast prairie that stretches into West Texas; the community was | ||
| officially incorporated in 1909; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, Grand Prairie is home to a diverse population | ||
| of more than 204,000 citizens, and it has built a reputation as a | ||
| hub of innovation, industry, and education; the city offers a | ||
| variety of opportunities for recreation and entertainment, | ||
| including the world-renowned Lone Star Park, Epic Waters Indoor | ||
| Waterpark, and the Texas Trust CU Theatre, and it has demonstrated a | ||
| steadfast commitment to arts, culture, and community engagement | ||
| with venues such as the Grand Prairie Historical Museum; in | ||
| addition, the city's schools, health care facilities, and public | ||
| services reflect its dedication to providing high-quality | ||
| resources for its residents; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Grand Prairie Chamber of Commerce works to | ||
| foster growth and prosperity through strategic investment in | ||
| infrastructure, transportation, and sustainable development, and | ||
| it has helped to make the city an attractive destination for | ||
| businesses and residents alike; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich history as they work together | ||
| to build an even brighter future, the citizens of Grand Prairie may | ||
| take justifiable pride in the important role their community | ||
| continues to play in 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 Grand Prairie | ||
| Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the visiting | ||
| delegation. | ||
