| WHEREAS, Brownsville is the largest city in the lower Rio | ||
| Grande Valley and is the seat of Cameron County; the southernmost | ||

| named in honor of Major Jacob Brown, who died in action in the | ||
| lead-in to the Mexican War; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Brownsville is a center for both the cultural | ||
| heritage of the United States and that of Mexico; each year, | ||

| together in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Members of the Brownsville community developed | ||
| the Imagine Brownsville Comprehensive Plan in order to implement | ||
| a bold vision for the future that builds on the strengths of the | ||
