| H.R. No. 669 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Many proud residents of Little Elm are visiting the | ||
| State Capitol on March 3, 2011, to celebrate the distinctive | ||
| attributes and achievements of their community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Established in 1844 on the banks of Little Elm | ||
| Creek, the town of Little Elm was part of the Peters Colony during | ||
| the Republic of Texas; it was not incorporated until 1966, and the | ||
| town retained its rural character until the late 1990s, when road | ||
| development made it more accessible to both Denton and Dallas; its | ||
| charms have since been discovered by many professionals working in | ||
| the high tech corridor of far North Texas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The population of Little Elm increased by more than | ||
| 600 percent during the last decade, making it one of the | ||
| fastest-growing towns in the United States; it is now home to nearly | ||
| 26,000, including many young, well-educated residents attracted by | ||
| its peaceful atmosphere and the beauty of its 66 miles of shoreline | ||
| along Lewisville Lake; the town also boasts a thriving economy and | ||
| excellent public schools; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Lewisville Lake Toll Bridge opened to traffic in | ||
| 2009, utilizing electronic toll collections and providing an | ||
| east-west corridor that has further expedited transportation in | ||
| this increasingly lively area; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Scenic Little Elm is no longer a North Texas secret, | ||
| but its residents are committed to maintaining the small-town | ||
| appeal and water vistas that make their community unique; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby recognize March 3, 2011, as Little Elm Day at the | ||
| State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best | ||
| wishes for a memorable and meaningful visit to Austin. | ||
