| WHEREAS, Proud citizens of Palmview are gathering in | ||
| Austin on March 18, 2019, 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 about 8,000 residents; | ||
| located at the crossroads of United States Highway 83 and Farm | ||
| Road 2061, the town 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 chamber of commerce is | ||
| working with entrepreneurs to spur further economic activity; | ||
| moreover, officials are devoted to enhancing services to benefit | ||
| the town'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 prepare for a dynamic and prosperous future; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize March 18, 2019, as Palmview Day at | ||
| the State Capitol and extend to the city's delegation sincere | ||
| best wishes for an enjoyable and productive visit to Austin. | ||
