1-3 Grand Prairie Day; and
1-4 WHEREAS, This prospering North Texas community was
1-5 established at the end of the Civil War and was incorporated in
1-6 1902; initially a farming community, the town grew slowly but
1-7 steadily for the next 40 years until the United States entered
1-8 World War II, when a growing need for products and supplies brought
1-9 an influx of industry to Grand Prairie; and
1-10 WHEREAS, This economic boost spurred the city on to
1-11 unprecedented growth, and today Grand Prairie is a dynamic and
1-12 thriving metropolis with more than 100,000 proud Texans working to
1-13 make their community and this state an even greater place to live;
1-14 and
1-15 WHEREAS, Located in both Dallas and Tarrant counties, the
1-16 city is in the center of the Dallas Metroplex and enjoys a
1-17 culturally diverse population; home to a multitude of local,
1-18 national, and international businesses, the city is justifiably
1-19 proud of its visionary approaches to areas such as education and
1-20 economic development; and
1-21 WHEREAS, Recreational and tourist opportunities abound
1-22 throughout the city, including the Palace of Wax, Ripley's Believe
1-23 It or Not, and Traders Village; scenic Lake Joe Pool and the area's
1-24 numerous parks provide many venues for enjoying Texas' great
2-1 natural beauty, and the city soon will add a luxurious Class I race
2-2 track to its growing list of attractions; and
2-3 WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is honored today
2-4 by the visit of a delegation of Grand Prairie community and
2-5 business leaders; organizations represented in this distinguished
2-6 group include the Grand Prairie Chamber of Commerce and its various
2-7 committees and staff, the city council, the City of Grand Prairie
2-8 and its various departments, and the public school system; and
2-9 WHEREAS, The interest of these citizens in the operations of
2-10 state government and, in particular, the legislative process merits
2-11 special recognition, as this type of commitment and dedication
2-12 forms the very backbone of the democratic process; and
2-13 WHEREAS, These outstanding individuals, and indeed all the
2-14 residents of Grand Prairie, can take great pride in their
2-15 community's heritage and should look to the future with great
2-16 anticipation; this unique city and its exceptional citizens have
2-17 played a significant role in Texas' development, and their many
2-18 contributions to the Lone Star State surely will continue for many
2-19 years to come; now, therefore, be it
2-20 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
2-21 Legislature hereby recognize March 24, 1993, as Grand Prairie Day
2-22 at the Capitol and join the citizens of Grand Prairie in paying
