| areas of central Hidalgo County and the 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 United States 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 establish a foundation for a dynamic and | ||
| prosperous future; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
